Hope

We live, we learn.

Knowing all we can, doing all to be done…

OK! Let’s be reasonable,not ‘all’ can be done,

Programmed minds and robots all around

Be like them, they say or be down

Straw grabbing, hypocrisy, expectations abound

Stumble, left behind on the bandwagon ride

These times, there’s no place to hide

No place to hide only the slide

Landing in the basket of the few

Rejected battered and caked in mildew

Hope in struggles that bring people together

Hope for the like-minds in rejection of the norm

Hope in the lonely gauntlet of adders

We live we learn
