hope (a poem)

hope strikes fear
in the heart of any oppressor
in the soul of all tyranny

hope will not be stilled
 hope cannot be silenced
  hope refuses to yield
   hope shan’t be vanquished
    hope continues to advance

for hope is legion

where any one f
                          a
                            l
                              l
                                s
two take her place

there is no end to which
hope is afraid to go

in patient endurance
hope will be victorious
