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!
