Hope-athy


 Hope-athy



What happened to the dreams?

Big moons, suns, and springs.


What happened to dancing your heart out?

Before the pain, and wounds marked your heart.


Where is the hope, where are the possibilities?

It seems like in some way or another everyone is grieving.


The lenses of my eyes have been altered; I now see the world in less colors.


There was a time when I felt alone in this, but now I see it’s so common.


How do we forgive each other and heal our pains?

Can we accept and respect our differences before we drive ourselves insane?


There  seems to be a war spreading in the world that’s invisible,

Those who feel it all, versus those who no longer can, who just spread indifference. 


Those who feel it all, are being overwhelmed by the selfishness taking over,

Those who can’t feel are blind by the pain they inflict, making this world even colder,


So how do we mend this world,  and how do we stop this war?
