Hope

The slightest ray

of light

shining on this 

deep pit 

of doom and 

despair,

lightening the hearts

of those trapped

inside.

The smallest glimmer of 

a better world

and future

hidden beneath

the grime and filth

of humankind's

mistakes

and cruelty.

We have to keep

reaching towards that 

ray of light

and grab on,

turning the impossible

to reality.

We have to clean off

the dirt

that stands in the way

of a better life;

we have to work

hard to get

what we desperately need.

Find that

piece of hope

inside our hearts

and apply it

to our world.
