A Hopeless Optimist
My hope was my delight boundless,
Unfettered, unbridled!
It unfolded a conformity in my life
Albeit many stumbles and
Discords of life I survived,
Life’s evil breaths had scalded my redolent hope,
My silent words were hardly heard,
Hardly understood!
From life to life I pursued the hope,
It was crumpled, dead and alive again!
A south wind once blew over me, it brought the
Herald of hope, my hope was enough to affright
A dystopia filled with greed and elitism,
Unwavering were my subdued instincts to my hopes
And desires in delights and despair,
They evoked me desperately to sojourn
For a while in this chaotic earth to acknowledge
Its rendition of humanism, its entente with mankind,
I found for certain, my hope had to
Strive more to win out!
