Some attention to Life

Hopelessness is sitting on the roadside
And chewing cola nuts
That stains your teeth.
The beggar without passion
Walking the empty streets at night.
A sparrow at the birdfeed
Picking up scraps of faded dreams.
And the pills that help you last through the night.
Hope is sound and tested.
The unborn that will know life
Never wondering in the cold night to get
Where the time is past and late.

Nice write. How much of our lives are influenced by which path we take? Hope or hopelessness? We often make the choice. We often pay the price.

I must say I find this piece fascinating. By drawing parallels between “Hope And Hopelessness,” one may be able to find solace in knowing, that there can be a better tomorrow, if one tries to fulfill the quest by sharing compassion and understanding. Thank you for sharing this timeless creation. Take care and be well.
