Hope Against Hope Poem by Qiniso Mogale

In an evil world
In a hostile world
In a dark world
In a selfish world
In a survival of the fittest world
In a hopeless world
We hope against hope.

In a dishonest world
In a disconcerted world
In a discouraged world
In a violent world
In a hateful world
In a hopeless world
We hope against hope.

In a morally bankrupt world
In a world devoid of the truth
In a world where wrong is right
In a world where right is wrong
In a world where fables are preferred
In a world where tales are preferred
In a world where truth is detested
In a hopeless world
We hope against hope.
