Glimpse in the future
Faced with uncertainties
Hope for salvation

Slipshod assessment
Picture not clearly defined
Arsenal is drawn

Snared and snarled at a
displaced soul and society
at each other’s throat

Rich against deprived
Check the forces and face up
There is a way out

Written for Chev’s haiku at CARPE DIEM #126 with prompt -hope- and d"Verse OpenLinkNight week #84     Yes

  1. oh there is a way out but who is willing to take it before all hope is lost?

  2. Hope is truly the answer :) sometimes it's hard to find the silver lining. Maybe it's not silver at all? Maybe its every color.

    I like your last line "There is a way out" because I think it's so easy to get stuck in the moment. I struggle so much with this.

    Thank-you for sharing!

  6. Hope can get one through, but sometimes hope can't tackle the rich, although one day you just never know.

  7. Seems too many enjoy being at each other's throat more than finding that way out, but I appreciate the hope you bring at the end here :)

  9. Faced with uncertainties, the person without hope is likely to succumb to all sorts of evils, both real and imagined.
