On Hope ...

What a world in chaos! Deep mistrust

Edges many dreams with dust

Dead certs wobble, disappear;

Don't we wonder why we’re here?

 

And yet, a flame of hope survives

Albeit now with saddened eyes;

'Cos however black things seem to be

A bright new sunrise there will be!

 

Though wheels of fortune rise and fall

And life on earth is a tough call

We get to climb back up life’s rope

As in Pandora’s box lies hope …
