You can be optimistic

A Poem by Jack Knight

Through the wilderness on bare feet
We stride searching for peace
The sun sets, the road darkens
Our pride brought down to its knees

Darkness impales our looming fate
Our hopes and dreams being castrate
Danger prevails on every corner
Worst dreams nearing us at the fastest rate

The hope for a ray of light
The idea of a new dawn
Even through the darkest nightmares
Keeps us going on.
