Hope Less
I’ve heard it
said that hope
is a terrible
thing;
the last thing
that one does
before defeat
becomes real.
How terrible,
these thoughts
are!
Maybe…
Maybe hope
is the worst
kind of crutch
there is.
Doing is better
than hoping.
There is too
much faith in
hoping.
Doing
takes
action.
Actions
beget
results.
The hammer
drives the
nails.
The arm
swings
the hammer.
Hope doesn’t
do anything,
except waste
time.
