Faith and Hope

You give me hope,

I pray

For miracles to play

A role in my life

Hoping for the unpredictable to happen.

               Time passes

               I pray and pray

              Till reality make holes,

              stick fingers into my dreams

              giving me a sterile pain.

               Hope strengthens me

               I live in utopia

               Put faith on my hope

              Drizella and Anastasia

              Fool around me

              Make merry, dance and laugh

              And I, naïve

             Snow White trust them.

 Still i pray harder

Put all my faith on hope

Giving strength to the wicked sisters

I depend upon them

So does the world

To hope is the only hope

or the world would go askew

                           These  misnomers,

                          Juggle with our lives,

                          shove us off and leave behind

                          Shattering all

                          Making the reality realize

                         The bitterness that bites.

They are dearer

but once the curtain is down

They nudge us

Shaking us, sucking us, snatching away the ground

On which we have stood for ages

Leaving behind the frail humanity to salvage.

                                               To still hope and have faith

                                               find a new silver lining

                                              A ray of hope
                                              colours, brightness and warmth

                                              which may relieve us of our qualms

                                              Still giving us hope for hoping the unsurpassed.
