Hope Stops
The humans, they had hope until
Their terminal slide downhill;
Living better somehow
Had sustained them, but now
They realize they never will.
==
Hope
I kept hoping for better: instead,
“Just wait till
you’re older,” folks said;
By now I should know
Things won’t change, although
Perhaps they’ll improve once I’m dead.
==
Hope Springs Eternal
Some advice that’s not moralistic
Nor unduly pessimistic:
As we slide down doom’s slope,
Don’t abandon all hope—
Just hope that’s unrealistic.
