"hope" by jose

is there any hope
that we can cope
with the mistakes
and the high stakes ?

is there anything left
for us to look forward to
is there not one ounce of regret
for all the things we've taken for granted?

will we survive long enough
to spread our seed among stars ?

will we ever consider using
alternative fuel for our cars ?

will we ever reclaim
our heavenly name ?

we will ever make it our goal
to connect back with our soul ?

will our votes ever really count ?

can we forgive and not kill
and repsect our free will ?

hope becomes despair
when things don't seem fair

smoke is in the air
but the fire is well hidden

trust is scarcely used
and when it is, its usually abused.

but even though the worst seems inevitable
you have to remember that we are incredible
and incredibly fragile as well.

it'd be such a shame
to erase our name
from the earth plane
over a political game.

even though the darkness seems to cloud the sky
we can be rest assured, that all's well in god's eye.
it may seem that the forces are misaligned
but thats just an illusion, thanks to time.
