Faith and Hope


Faith and hope
since the first dawn of 
Homo Sapiens, the thinking man
the need has been around
to explain the why, to make heads or tails
why are we here
bring comfort in the unavoidable end
a sense of making sense of things out of sense

Faith and hope
since the dawn of
civilisation, the social human
the urge has been strong
to compete and win, to conqour and divide
how much can I pile
a legacy to, cheat the definite end
a sense of making sense of things out of sense

Faith and hope
since the dawn of
religions, the summing human
the misuse and abuse been the rule
to control the tribe, the masses
to fearlessly run towards the bitter end
reduced to useful idiots in the hands of
senseless prophets without any sense

Faith and hope
Hijacked to the dark side

Keep faith and hope but watch out for the false prophets, ha de Gött!

Inspired by John Malones poem Hope.
