A Somerset House exhibition that will bring tears to your eyes

by Chris P on 20/01/2012

somerset house exhibition journalism & conflict

Oh dear Oh My

This is an exhibition that could make you cry

On a dark and gloomy London day

This wasn’t the best exhibition to see

Did it lift up my spirits, I think not

Some of the images were quite a shock

If a picture can say a thousand words

Then there’s a library here of untold woes

Our riots here were a tea party

Compared to the Libyan, Syrian and Egyptian anarchy

So what will you see

A little hope and a lot of despair

Toooo many bodies everywhere

A religious code gone horribly wrong

You’ll see humanities swansong

So why am I saying you should go and see that

Because I think it makes you appreciate what you’ve got

It makes you want to try a little harder

And give a bit more

After all we don’t have to worry about the sniper

The soldier

Or the knock at the front door.

The exhibition I’m talking about is called Frontline: A year of journalism & conflict and is on at Somerset House until 4 February. The exhibition is free and on all days but there’s no evening opening as last entry is 5.30 and the exhibition closes at 6pm.

Wow! Too lighten the mood a little why not read one of my more cheery moments – Dreams can come true in Canary Wharf.
