HEAR MY CRY
Synopsis
This song is in the voice of victims of injustice and is performed with a feeling of intensity, anguish and despair.
Human suffering on a global scale is increasing. Wars, natural disasters, civil unrest, nationalism, extremism, and climate change are intensifying, with poor consequences for civilian populations. The insensitivity to human suffering, whether on a mass or individual scale, appears to go unchecked resulting in a compromise of mental, physical and spiritual well-being in everyday life.
This song captures the plea and emotions of those affected by suffering and hardship.
