The Fault in our Stars
“We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction
that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.”
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Belief, Hope, Conviction sound dandy
but they’re all just a bunch of crock!
Believing that I am a bird and
jumping from atop a mountain
hoping to blissfully fly away
is simply not gonna happen.
First, I have to grow wings!
In between ‘believing’ and ‘hoping’
you have to have luck, talent, opportunity,
persistency, personality and timing.
Millions in Ukraine believed in
and hoped for a better future,
Yet, it took just one Crackpot
to blow their hopes to smithereens.
The above quote is purely cosmetic.
The fault, my dear, is in our stars!
