I AM HOPE
I AM HOPE
I look down the mountains as a valley
I bubble inside the womb of fear
My eyes are closed to the storms
The waves I ride in certainty
I am HOPE.
I build nations before they manifest
I create the embrayo in what I say
I walk upon the waters emptied of trepidations
I am HOPE.
I hear the drums of war
I hear the cacophony of voices
I hear the sounds of jackboots of war
I hear the claims
The counter-claims
The entitlements
The end is not nigh
I am HOPE.
I see night men walk at noon day
Yet unknown
Bearing enormous armours
In their wake gnashing of teeth trails
Mothers wail in wait for sons that may not return.
Yet the end is not nigh.
I am HOPE.
