Samir Georges Poet Free verse

Quizzical In Nature

First
There is the need of hope
A desperation
There is the belief of hope
A manifestation
Then
There is the understanding of hope
A divination
Then there is the writing of hope
A salvation
Then there is the preaching of hope
A manipulation
Then there is the deriving of hope
A blasphemy
Then there is the raping of hope
A sinning-nation
Then there is the spreading of hope
A commercialization
Then there is the remembrance of hope
A realization
Then there is the questioning of hope
An inquiry
Then there is the discarding of hope
A mistake
Then comes the hopelessness of understanding
An irony
Then lies the realization of understanding
A comedy
Then comes the reintroduction of hope
A mischievous cycle
Then comes the substitution
An analysis
Here is the variable
An assessment
Hope is to religion, as oppression is to slavery 
A simile

Andrea Dietrich January 22, 2010 at 9:05 AM wow you just ran the whole gamut with this one, Samir. You are quite the deep thinker. I guess I am not so much, but I admire it in others. I sent in a different entry to that contest instead, Samir. but I am glad you found my long "poem" deserving. Yes, I too have been betrayed a few times by "friends" Funny how that goes! lUv, andrea
