Hope

Seeing the world get deeper in this mess gives me stress as I see why they hope

Because there’s no more hope for self

And the only thing many people are proud of are the achievements of some one else

Most people I know can’t see what they refuse to hear

Even if they feel how disaster can hit them so near

Maybe if they heard the warning they could have avoided the problem

But I’m sure they’ve gone deaf from ignorance screaming in their ears

All I feel is love but I argue out of anger

When I see another cop empties another clip in another brother’s heart chamber

I look for GOD but I wonder did he already come

Taking away the people we’ve lost leaving us to kill each other in eternal labor trying to get to heaven

Though I’m still driven by hope, I feel like life’s screaming nope

Punishing the good for the deeds of the bad

The balance is off and few still ride for the cause

But oddly enough I hope on without pause
