The Madcap

Hope

Tomorrow
Change in the air
As we see the results
Of our choices

I believe
The people will see
The danger in him
And turn to her

If I am too optimistic
Is that not better then
Than wallowing in doom
And darkest thought?

I have hope
That we can overcome
Defeat the monster
Destroy the hatred
Turn the darkness into light
And see a bright future

My children
Depend on the results
For what would happen to them
If the Evil were to gain a further foothold?

All of us
Sleep tight tonight
Do not fret, do not worry
For good will conquer evil
And we will see our hope
Become reality

Have hope…
