Contributions of Hope

Hope and what can be accomplished by self.

Slowly I find that all is well
It takes a piece of me to see
That the world is not a hell

The world is what I let it be
A combination of life blooming
My soul is truly free

The wonder of which I am
Is not dependent upon
Some other living man

Depression surrounds me
Cruel as it may seem
I can fix others bad dreams

Words I can add to page
In these thoughts I can erase
For a few moments a bit of hate

Man is man same at the core
We all fear the same open door
Death it haunts us every day

Pain and hunger turn our way
Heaven vs. a life in hell
We believe a story that they tell

Our children we want a better life
No man honors torture
No man seeks his daughter’s rape

Words of love flow from the pen
Be it in the flower
The river round the bend

Words of laughter slip from lips
Captured by a loving kiss
This I can give

This world is not hell
It is a blank page
We take, we give, and we laugh,

In and out of our cell
