In the Midst of Chaos

a poem inspired by a divided world

in the midst of chaos by Solomon

In shrouded depths of chaos, a monster’s mask conceals,

But amidst the darkness, a single flower reveals.

Its delicate petals unfurl, an emblem of hope,

A beacon of light in despair’s entangled scope.

Across the wasteland of ruins and shattered dreams,

A child’s laughter resounds, a symphony it seems.

In the heartache of battles and endless strife,

A mother’s love breeds strength, an unyielding life.

Amidst the torrent of hate and seeds of despair,

A stranger’s kindness emerges, a tender care.

These striking contradictions in life’s grand design,

Moments of splendour in the shadows they intertwine.

For even when darkness consumes with its might,

A glimmer of light pierces through, like stars in the night.
