A FUTURE ALL TOO NEAR

orifice-torture

where is everyone? by travisanderson

What might the future hold?

Buildings of concrete and stone.

Travel by flying cars.

Trees of green foam.

Sunlight only a reflection.

Lighted sabers for protection.

A future hard to bear,

A future all too near.

PERSEVERANCE

PERSEVERANCE

We suffer illnesses and deaths.

We fight to survive.

Why?

Why does a flower bloom

during an early frost?

Hope.

Hope for warmer days ahead.

We hope for better times.

Hope keeps us alive and warm.

PERSEVERANCE

Perseverance

We trudge along in our hard lives.
Suffer through illnesses and deaths.
But we still carry on.
Why?
Why does this flower continue
to hold its head up high?
Hope.
It hopes for warmer days ahead.
We hope for better times.
Hope keeps us alive and warm.
We must never give up on hope.
