Quizzical In Nature

First There is the need of hope A desperation There is the belief of hope A manifestation Then There is the understanding of hope A divination Then there is the writing of hope A salvation Then there is the preaching of hope A manipulation Then there is the deriving of hope A blasphemy Then there is the raping of hope A sinning-nation Then there is the spreading of hope A commercialization Then there is the remembrance of hope A realization Then there is the questioning of hope An inquiry Then there is the discarding of hope A mistake Then comes the hopelessness of understanding An irony Then lies the realization of understanding A comedy Then comes the reintroduction of hope A mischievous cycle Then comes the substitution An analysis Here is the variable An assessment Hope is to religion, as oppression is to slavery A simile © Samir Georges 2007

wow you just ran the whole gamut with this one, Samir. You are quite the deep thinker. I guess I am not so much, but I admire it in others. I sent in a different entry to that contest instead, Samir. but I am glad you found my long "poem" deserving. Yes, I too have been betrayed a few times by "friends" Funny how that goes! lUv, andrea
