Let There Be Hope

Let there be hope

where hope was lost

amongst the ashes of

dreams crushed

by ruthless truncheons

rummaging for all that is.

As if what is

was not enough

for those that be.

As if it has not always been sufficient.

Let There Be Hope.

We chant our song.

A song of longing hopefuls

that deny despair

a place in unrelenting hearts

that beat to a resistant rhythm.

That beat a drum of persistent whispers

urging all to satiate the cracked terrain.

Let There Be Hope
