Hope’s Delusion

Hope, hope, hope

Hope, a fleeting dream we chase,

A mirage that vanishes in space,

A myth that whispers sweet delight,

But fades to dust in morning light.

It beckons us with promises grand,

But leaves us empty, lost in the land,

A cruel tease, a fleeting high,

A myth that dies, and leaves us to sigh

A flickering flame,

Luring hearts with gentle beams,

Then dies in ash and screams.
