The Scent of Hope

Withered and withering

Clustered in shackles

Gang raped by men

With a sweet tongue

 

Holden in the cesspit of forlorn hope

Groping in the dark

Brackishly looking for hope

In a hopeless land

 

Yet at the sound of the bullhorn

At the scent of integrity

At the end of the tunnel

I will yet hope

 

For a turnaround thence

That is beyond human deed

That yet we will rise

To that vista repose to the great land

 

We will yet rise

Above this incongruent

Assemblage of vice maker

To a glorious hope
