Hope Eternal
This decade has been a killer
just like the last.
A hope of a transcendent consciousness
spins on stationary wheels.
'Peace on earth' still an oxymoron.
Fences always need painting,
shoes mending,
even as life challenges us
with drugs and viral bugs.
Maybe another new religion
will help us out,
a faith in Global Warming
for the zealots and its preachers;
such miracles
might bring everyone closer.
However,
freedom of speech,
equal justice for all,
and government
of the people for the people
are still considered
conspiracy theories.
Our collective trust
in Superman and the wisdom
of Hollywood celebrities,
of course
remains unshakable.
