Hope and Despair
And so I return
After so long away.
To look at the feelings
I had yesterday.
Too long have I waited
And hoped for respite,
Too long in this world
So full of fight.
For the light is fading
And the shadows draw near.
Can I survive
Yet another year?
The world has gone mad
With acts of aggression
But I still hope and pray
For some sort of regression.
Look beyond the fight
Look beyond the earth!
At the end of it all
What are we worth?
A handful of dust
An ocean of tears
A pocketful of hopes
Dashed by our fears.
Wake up you leaders!
You toy with our being
See through the lies
And just start believing.
