Literature Text

a thing of life
to hope is a gamble
for a fruitless tree
to yield
love and hatred you see

the bleakness of an eternity
against the bloom of a man's soul
does a tragic tale unfold
while hope is crushed beyond recognition

if a trust is lost
the cost of a true hope
becomes far too much for any one man to pay in paper
in his heart he wavers
forth and backwards
he draws deeper still
into the darkness of despair
its claws clambering for a spark of hope
to be quenched beyond repair
misery an heir

a god
The God
before the night shuts her doors
will He spare a man
or the mob
demons lure love before the eyes
even for things which are not all lies
who can say
what I say
death and despair
are quite the pair
