Sunset at Noon

George Moses

The rising sun has set at noon;
The destined sword has plunged your heart
Your bold maternal ungushed-sorrow-pent-up heart.

Did your pen in your riven heart
And write a verse across a sheet.
Unload therein the weight of words that sorrow parts.

Death! Say Where did you pilot him and why?
Where did you hide in that seat in that plane?
Who gave you licence as pilot the third?

Holy Mother of Christ, even she, you spared her not.
Mark Mary mute at the foot of the cross.
Nailed, thorned and brutally pierced.

Pray, pray look at the cross and wipe your tears
For the noon-set-sun, for the noon-set-son.
Oh, Life is a tragedy, a Divine tragedy too!
