MELANCHOLY

MELANCHOLY

When and why do
people become melancholic?
Is it a condition
or a state of mind?

For those
Who are truly melancholic
Is a serious condition
Not merely a
State of mind

What is the differential
With class, gender or age?
Is it a depressive
and debilitating condition?
Which makes the individual
Inactive, sad & idle?

Do we need
To seek
Professional opinion?
Or talk to some people
To reflect and find out
How they have been affected

I sometimes feel melancholic
Whenever I hear
Even melodious Tigrigna, Sudanese
Or
Reggae music
I might be wrong
But I think
It might be the lyrics

How come music
Supposed to
Relax and entertain?
Bring sadness
With its refrain?
This is lay man’s
Interpretation

Please give me
Scientific
Or
Rational explanation
