A Lost Hope Poem by Olorode Olorunleke

A Lost Hope

Rating: 5.0


While looking around for hope to lay
My heart steers towards the mystery of each day
The positive and negative side of the coin
As none knows how to hit the loin

Is it with a sledge hammer
Or the David's stone?
Lest we find ourselves in the corner
Vanity over vanity is our world

Except the legends live forever
We all get deleted at each end of our sojourn
Stopping it, no one has the liver
Vanity I say is our world

Neither struggle nor charisma will change fate
There's no destiny fulfillment that comes too late
But, you have to go through the war room
To make do of your dream

Hadn't we allsubmitted to fate,
Our world wouldn't have been back in date
Love in lust we tend to praise
That we care more of greed than being pleased

Cheating and killing are good
Once the ego and stomach are filled
Should the creator be blamed
No, never, never at all.

That we're at liberty
Shouldn't have made us lose our purity
How would our world be helped -
With a bleeding heart I pray

Yes I pray that
Dear creator writes His laws in our hearts.
