No Hope

Talking 'bout politics, finances, antics
Learning to understand, research, comprehend
Writing poems 'bout how bad I feel
I see no hope

Looking in the past, the future, the beginning, the end
between the lines of the pages of unwritten diaries
where I find no hope

Feeling out of touch with nature
Melting glaciers, shot wolves
A cat's carcass rotting on the highway's side
There is no hope

I see people
Intolerant, close minded, selfconcious
Vain, proud, hateful, depressed
Until they change
Until they start thinking beyond themselves
Until each of six billion minds each by itself
Awakens from its selfish sleeps
There can be no hope
