Defeatist

by @david-fauntleroy

Hope. It is our duty. Pray then, with me. That those influential, The decision makers, The great leaders, Public figures and speakers, Intellectuals and all Whom the spotlight warms, Deserved or no, Wake one day without hope. Just one day is all I ask Enough to in the following bask They are infinitely small. May despair shrink all To their proper size. Let the greatness of Earth, Heaven and all of the Other Overtake all and smother Pride. Let hopelessness all ignorance divide. One day To see themselves in those they detest. One day without purpose To give evil and folly a rest Deconstruct their great wants Oh, Defeatist. Replace in our hearts Love with completeness. Lend an ear to these words. Just one despondant day To end all of the ploys. Allow us to join the animals in the woods With their small, eternal joys.
