Hope

I started on the notion that the world is full of pretentious people
Like a flower blossoming from the outside, but with a corrupt sepal
But even I hadn't imagined, that the journey would be full of hitches
Travelling to see the riches, but ended up in the ditches...

Not that it bothered me, oh no, not at all
For my expectations had since long, already started to fall
But even then, when the vivid reality struck me, I can't quite re-call
For those were the moments, when my life simply appeared to stall.

I know my expressions, may seem a little obscure
But, such are my findings, that I really don't see a cure
For it takes one to bring, the reality back ashore
But it takes two to cleanse it...so that its white, shiny and pure

But alas, we are all the same, looking for the easy way
The sun is shining in our face, yet we are looking for the light and ray
And so, oh dear god, today I can only wish and pray
That one day, all will realize that like water is to bay,
Our shelter is in the form of hope...if only we want it to stay...
