Question: Hope is a dangerous thing!.!.!.!.!?
I am compelled to express my emotion
be it heartless or even uncouth
but hope is a tool of the foolish
who hide from the trappings of truth
foregoing forgone conclusions
carelessly wasting your breath
desperately clinging to wildest dreams
that were long ago sentenced to death
hope for the bedridden elder
feeling his force slip away
who prays for the cure to come quickly
and begs for another today
even the wandering beggar
dreams of a warm place to lay
although he has asked for salvation
he exists in a miserable way
reminded of an honest man
and the faith that he did keep
he had simply hoped for tomorrow
then died within his sleep

You're right!. I hoped this would be different!.

And the seventh line crushed that hope!.

Meter, meter, for the love of all things holy, you need meter when you write in rhyme!.

Compelled to express my emotion
Though heartless or even uncouth
See, hope is a tool of the foolish
Who hide from the trappings of truth
You hope to be called a good writer
That poetry's one of your skills
What you don't realize young writer
Your words, to my mind, are like drills
A dangerous thing then, this hope is
Especially to the untrained
Yet still I do hope to find writers
Who will leave poetry unmaimedWww@QuestionHome@Com

and when his eyes opened again
he realized he was surrounded by beauty
he was surrounded by warmth
his body was whole and his world at peace
his family and friends welcomed him home
though the man may die hope never doesWww@QuestionHome@Com
