Building Hope
When everything around is burning
Rubble abounds, fires out of control
Everything scrambled, all is random
Nothing left good, all is done.
It is so hard to find a ray of light
In the darkness of the human heart
Where evil lurks in shadowed rooms
Awaiting an opening for power
And yet we must search
To hunt for the positive
We must look to a future
Of possibility and clarity
Where the best can arise
And the weak can be strengthened
In hope and expectation
Of life forward improving
Can we shut out the darkness?
Can we still those loud voices?
Shouting out hatred
Screaming in pain?
Can we build a wall ‘round it?
Surrounding the fear?
Burying the hopelessness
Deep underground?
Where do we search
For a bright starry future
When our eyes remain closed
To the light?
