Disjoined

When
Will we accept our idealist indirection? 
Deviated by selfish deviance;
byproducts of our own deceits. 

Hope
Remains in anonyms who grasp moralizing concepts. 
Courage must manifest promised tangibility. 

Despair
Cripples forces of hope;
Sprinkling dreary forecasts, only to be left in doubt.

Questionable answers are found, such as...
Why do we be what we are?
