Hope

Joy Davis

There’s a dark side
to
Hope
That’s been buried in the ground
But the worms couldn’t eat away at it
Because it’s heart refuses to stop.

Instead it grows in power
Spreading itself around
Clinging itself to whatever idea it can
Faith
Love
Peace
Harmony
Then rips those things apart
Until this idea has a manifestation
Possessing the globe.

They kill whatever stands in its way
Insisting upon its own ego
as the only applicable answer.

Every night it sheds its white cloak
and
Stumbles down the stairs
Waiting for its next victim
which it kills
out
of
love.
