I Hope Poem by Barnali Saha

I hope


I hope to see a happy world,
A world of enchantment, a blissful planet
I wish to see the sky stained blue,
A magical sky with a heavenly hue
I dream to catch the stars and rise
I think of what god might apprise
I hope to touch the grass lush green
And imbibe the smell, the beauty and sheen.
I dream to feel that dropp of dew,
The virgin dew in my morning view
With legerdemain I will dance my steps
And enjoy the mirth while I don her wreath.
But alas all I see is blood and vengeance
The angel’s raiment stained with blood stains
Happiness you say is superseded now
For to death and hell we all now bow
An iota of hope is all I have
But the changing world also threatens that!
A patina of redundant hope
Might not have a full scope
To bloom
As raid of evil bud in the world
And affront to the world are hurled
My hopes die an ill-timed death
And mingle with the drops of blood that evil stain.
