Hope

Looking for the good life,

Although clearly undefined.

So hard to be objective when

Subjectiveness is ruled.

Searching for the answers

To the mysteries before us.

Never losing hope... Never being fooled

Into believing we must settle

For some other lesser dream,

Putting goals on hold for

Someone else to pass us by.

Standing firm and holding on,

Avoiding futile schemes,

Keeping hope alive, no lame excuse, no alibi.

Striving to achieve

Seemingly unattainable,

Often dangling from a fraying rope.

Man's predisposition to face the bitter end,

To fight the odds and

Never give up hope.
