THE LAST VESTIGE OF HOPE

 

THE LAST VESTIGE OF HOPE

 

From grassroots lever budding life,

Fought hunger, poverty, insult strife,

Stubborn hide tears pretend smile,

Studious, capricious, and errand style, (1)

 

Determined to be successful, wish,

Crimson glories of sunrise cherish,

Pour boundless energy and vigor,

Established a day arrived ensured, (2)

 

Read fame and fortune or destiny,

Rebellious heart fights the mutiny,

Hammered ethos in the mind defy,

Perform or perish, result, do or die, (3)

 

Greeted prosperity, health, a name,

Astonished, the soul stays the same,

Lack of animosity, friendship, or love,

Often, think about the past probe (4)

 

Life has started flickering at the end,

The property gold failed to defend,

Sadly, the misconnection persists,

Temptation inhibits rejection life resist (5)

 

For whom to leave properties, gold,

Extinguished the life houses sold,

Leave no virtue, principle, emotion,

Remnants of the past love seldom, (6)

 

Decency, politeness, diligence, a life,

Wine, women, unrepentant thrive,

Smoke out cherished life squander,

Lifelong effort, the dreams plunder, (7)

 

Accept the consequence, a future,

The last vestige of hope, a horror,

Life begins and ends spectacularly,

Death cleanses very well past scars. (viii)
