To Hope Not or Hope For All

To hope not or hope for all.
Profound is the life so enthralled!
Is it thrilling, one’s life so beneficial?
Or abysmally chilling, one’s life so superficial?
To have the dark, not the light.
To think of death, not the life.
To dream of tomorrow,
Forgetting today.
To weave only sorrow,
Yet, always living in dismay.

To hope not or hope for all.
Profound is the life so enthralled!
Is it thrilling, one’s life so beneficial?
Or abysmally chilling, one’s life so superficial?
To have the dark, not the light.
To think of death, not the life.
To dream of tomorrow,
Forgetting today.
To weave only sorrow,
Yet, always living in dismay.
