Hope

Jyme I, Roundtree

Esperanza-

Elpida-

Hatifa-

Even in the safest environment,

“Cruelty” teaches its lessons,

“Hope” is born in the shadows of sacrifice,

It’s the audacity to give way to ambition,

Curious,

Always curious why counterparts don’t see it clearly,

Youth resisting the call of “The Matrix”,

Neo closing Trinity,

Rather than begin again they have hope to dream,

“Hatifa” is the war cry,

A promise to self, God, & community not to give in to tranny,

Its willingness for curiosity over animosity because it understands hate is easy,

& hope takes character,

Dare,

To,

Dream!

“Elpida” is a soliloquy,

An ant’s prayer on city streets knowing purpose is in its genetics,

“Hope” moves your feet,

Jazz in your toes,

Prayers in your soul,

It’s understanding your intrinsic value never fits a mold,

No real needle was ever moved forward with ego,

It’s why,

The multitude would rather cry crocodiles than see a dream stomped out!

“Esperanza”-

A hummingbird’s song,

The sound of a baby,

The warmth of a pet,

The rays of the sun,

The wind in trees,

The dirt at your feet,

Ripples in the sea,

The synergy of community,

Be the joy that stirs your soul in a world that gets cold,

Remember the fledging moments before your free fall into the future,

Hold on to hope,

Hold to peace,

Hope to be kind,

Esperanza-

Elpida-

Hatifa-

Hold on to peace,

Hold on to hope,

Hope to be kind...
