To Hope Again

Once again mankind hopes and gathers Looking towards sunlight after the worse of days But now released mankind laughs and sings The young dance The old with crinkling wrinkles smile Yet sleep does not come easily For the old have seen during the years Uncertainty created by unstable minds They have seen the craving of evil men How they stay quiet and wait ready To ponce during the dancing days Living for the bitter coldness of gold The people who care, hope and love Those with joy, and hear the future calling Exalt children, the earth, the expansion of life They are watching resting quietly Their funds kept safe as they sit on the sidelines Check their computers and the news Watching while the young celebrate Learn, dream, love, and grow For they know that evil always survives And hides in the alleys during the quiet dark Jealous of joy, resentful of our reveling Ready to cause pain and deception And though we may rest, we are ready to Open our eyes cry out beware and battle again
