Hope Within Despair

-Hope Within Despair-
by Keaton Foster



Sad
Glad
A difference
Thinner the line
All of the time
Hope
Within despair
This life
Not fair
All
That has happened
Why
Not so clear
How come
Even less
Translucent
Transhumanism
Turned on its head
Wicked is the man
The one with his
Hand upon the gun
The one to my head
The one that you
Don’t know
But soon will
He’s coming
As sure as the sun
As right as rain
I am aware
Because of who
And what
I myself am
Hope
Within despair
All that we are
Blood and stone
All that we can be
Exactly the same
Inconsequentially
Indistinguishable
All but a few
Hold light
To the flame
All but some
Are better than none
Seems odd
But dare it be true
It just has to be
Sure I’ve failed
Damn near
Every single day
These hands
Quite stained
This heart
A roaring shame
Calling out to my kind
These words
Wisdom or weapons
Maybe both
I’ll let you decide
Because you can
Hope
Within despair
Reality
Even more clear
Like a walk in the sun
Like a swim in the rain
Nothing is better
Until nothing
Is all that remains…
