Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Hope Is A Wish

Frustration grows in the minds of the old:
questioning everything that they've been told.
And seeking answers that nobody knows:
in the minds of the old, frustration grows.

Aspirations are lost in youth's shadow:
when hormones stop fueling their gusto.
And as unfulfilled fantasies get tossed:
in youth's shadow, aspirations are lost.

Time opens their eyes to the faults of Man:
and the old wonder if God has a plan.
Youth tout that love will never compromise:
to the faults of Man, time opens their eyes.

Hope is a wish, wanting more, never less:
for reality is: life is a mess.
And having tasted lobster, we shun fish,
wanting more, never less: hope is a wish.
