H.O.P.E.


H.O.P.E.

Vile vanities are filled under the world’s insanities. Problems that occur inevitably in all families lead the media into selling the kids and the ignorant flaccid fantasies.

In the meantime, the insightful see that society isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Out the sky our dreams fall like hail when we realize of all things HOPE is not on retail.

I hold the job of a booster, stealing what was stolen. The heart of a healer, healing what was broken. And the voice of a rooster, awakening my people to see the proverbial sunrise; thus, I liberalize YOU, and ascertain a placid day bringing you out of the dark and into a light, opportunistic place.

Some would say HOPE is a placebo. But I say Hold On Pain Ends. Hope. Hope is the liaison between what you have, and what you don’t. Where you are, and where you want to go.

Hope is a rope. You climb to the top, or you remain at the bottom and settle for living low. I have hope, for you. So I propose that you take hold of the rope. Grip tight and make sure you wear gloves. Let go of what’s below, to reach higher for what’s above.

I have hope for you because I know you want to grow. Forget your friends, family, and the people that refute your true potential. Success doesn’t happen by chance. It is intentional. Forget the demons that haunt your because of your past. For now your only task is to, just… let… go.

Make amends with your dirt, and let it go with the wind. Hope is the determining factor between a loss and a win. On hope the world depends. Remember, Hold On Pain Ends.
