Hope is a lie

Hope is a myth. To live is to die, to die is to die, there is no hope. I see the world ashen, aflame, burned, scorched, molten, squelched. My soul thirst for that which is right; it cries out for goodness, is weeps for justice! The world mourns the dead, I mourn the world. All my rising is a burden, better had it been if I was never born than to witness the destruction of the world I came into. Life is an unending road of burning tires and weeping mothers. All my hope is turned to despair.
