I’m not giving up hope.
I’m going to swim against the flow.
I’ll be able to cope.
I won’t turn my back on the things I know.
Sometimes I feel so alone.
I feel like the whole world has gone insane.
There’s a darkness that seems to have grown.
That’s clouding our instinct to be humane.
And we’ve become way to apathetic.
So many are brainwashed by power hungry fools.
And I don’t claim to be prophetic.
But I do claim that love and compassion are important tools.
I’m not giving up hope.
I’m gonna stand up for justice at any cost.
I’m hanging on to the rope.
I believe that our conscience is not yet lost.
Hey Jerry... Awesome new poem. I love the message you are expressing here. I believe that it is right to stand up for what you believe in, even if you're the only one standing.
