The world is a cruel place,
Full of demons
And things that creep in the shadows.
Encased in hate and greed,
Blackened hearts litter the ground,
Hatred flows through blood,
Killing from within.
Stealthily hid away in even the nicest of people,
Is the mark of evil,
Waiting for a hold to grab in their heart.
Corrupt minds rule the helpless,
Sin racing through the dirty streets.
And yet one thing thrives despite all the chaos,
Hope.
It is what keeps us alive,
Softens hardened hearts,
Unlocks kindness buried deep within,
Breathes life into the condemned,
Scares away the mightiest of demons.
Hope.
Hope keeps us alive,
Keeps us moving.
Keeps our hearts,
Keeps us safe,
Keeps us just out of reach from the darkest of evils.
Hope is everything,
Hope is life.
