Audacity of Hope

Confidence to move ahead

Grim reality,
The biggest threat…
How many more?
The wounds of war.
Desperate times,
Trauma to the brain;
Wounds intentionally caused
The lowest of the low.
The price of freedom
Embroiled in the economic mess

Shoot the messenger
Lost the plot –
Nothing special
Whiff of contagion

Make a difference

A load of rubbish
Keep the streets clean –
Paying off the cops rather than the mob
No hiding place.
How to avert disaster,
Grumbling and rumbling
It’s not a setback.  It’s a test.

Affirmative action –
Shake the kaleidoscope
For victory
Through gritted teeth
Time for a change?

The audacity of hope.
