Hope



Hope
The silken string
Which holds together
The beads ofAspirations,
Dreams,
Desires..
The single thread of that hapless Arachnid,
Swaying in the cruel breeze of reality.
That one four letter word
Which still lifts its head
Under the burning torrent of four letter words.
The blind eye that struggles to see the half full glass.
A totally contradictory entity-
this thing called hope.
A lease to life,
A reason to kill.

Wow! Niiiiice! Although "That one four letter word Which still lifts its head Under the burning torrent of four letter words." gave me a pause when I did the donkey eyebrow lift. You know what I mean! :D

Loved the last bit, especially "A reason to kill". A very unusual view!

Thanks. Appreciate it.lolz yes, I DO know what you mean. That was expected reaction. I keep getting the feeling that the last two lines sort of.. you know.. remove the punch. I think I'll delete them off. And- REPLY TO MY MAIL WOMAN!
