Shortened Hope
No worries they uttered
as the times streams by
The people don yari
Yes, they are irate
Everything don para
Plenty things don spoil
Yet they are still visionary
envisioning the now
to the coming years
Even as we are laden
with more burdens
reversing our journey
shortening our hopes
as we now live life
in bits and pieces
