Hope Beyond Reason
How can I make them understand
These miscreants, the unwashed masses
Walking dead without the light of life
Forever unable to comprehend_
Desperation breeds empty life
Disillusioned, void of passion
Deceased souls, hearts a vacuum
A gaping hole, forever unfilled_
I cry out, no one hears me
My soul speaks volumes
The world weeps as silently
I keep the vigil_
These hallowed halls, devoid of hope
As the dead hurry toward their destruction
Never realizing, never waking
To live beyond the moment_
Caught in the rush, lost in the battle
A challenge to assume my position
Again I fail to stand my ground
By the power of the One who won't yield_
The planet pulls me one way
My heart another, as I run the race
Faintly distinctly, I hear the call
The voice of the One and Only_
A silent prayer, in words so loud
By one who wishes to be bold
With fear and ever present doubt
Tearing at the words_
How I long for these souls to know
The treasure of life
More precious than riches,power,fame
A hope beyond all reason_
One day the darkness will hide
As hope returns, the world beyond darkness
Where death and decay can have no hold
As dead men walking return to life

I see it as the halls being school, and basically you see the shallow, unfullfilled peeps that walk the halls everyday, and you wish they knew that there was more to life than the next sig other, money, popularity, and other vile practices. If i am correct in my interpretation, then i totally feel ya. If i am wrong however, then i suck beyond belief.
It's really good altogether seriously! I like it a bunch--God has definitely gifted you as a writer.
The spacing thing is so jacked up! My poems were supposed to have spaces btwn stanzas but it wouldn't do it! It makes it so much more dramatic when they're there...
Oh and btw, you're not 17 yet... but i'd be saying i was too if my b-day was 3 days away... YAY! I can't believe we're gonna be 17 this year... crazy i tell ya... just crazy....
Dnow... another brilliant weekend. To tell the truth, I seem to have picked up a couple of phrases... one of which is "nice work". And "am I right? You're not wrong!" Oh my. Definitely hooked. Dangit. And we're probably going to family camp this year... yikes. Good luck to me. That's all I have to say.
