A Chat With Hope.
BOY: Gloom overrides my day
Flood it with clouds, thick and grey
And stole my hope away
My life is on a sway
My day is dark as night
No hope or rays of light
Can sun ever shine bright?
Or will it forever be out of sight?
I cried and cried but all in vain
Tears roll down my checks like rain
My heart bleeds, only me feels the pain
My joy has gone down the drain
I shouted for help, till my voice grew dull
Yet no one heard my call
I’m so worthless and small
Thus, nobody minds at all
Kill me; do me a favor this once
Send me where my ancestor lies
Away from all human eyes
Because I’m foolish, this life is but for the wise
Caused is the day of my birth
Why didn’t you swallow me oh earth?
Deep in your belly, numb with no wrath
I could surely be better off down beneath
HOPE:Say no more, little lad
To your grief do not add
Long ago your cries were heard
Stop hurting; this is your season to be glad
BOY:Impossible! Then why am I still in this world?
A place cooked with evil untold
Were love has died of cold
Impossible! What you say I cannot hold
By the way, who are you?
Is this really true
Or have you come to add to my blue
Just the way the others do
HOPE:No, I am He who died to set you free
Your sins, your pains and shame I took on me
Just to make you who you ought to be
Look at the nail marks in my hands, can’t you see
BOY:If you are real and if you can
Help me, help Ann, Help Dan
And all our likes in every clan
Then I’ll believe you are a superman
HOPE:For you all I came in Heavens glory
To relief you of your misery
And change the ending of your story
My plan is for you to be merry
BOY:Are you sure of the course you pledge?
I am from black heritage
To make worse, am poor and of young age
Your promise I can’t afford, go save the rich
HOPE:Now listen closely to what I say adhere
Through all your downs I was there
All your pains I also bear
And yet, I showered you with care
When I came from above
I brought joy, hope, life, love
All for you to have
If you can only believe
Jesus! I believe
Reed me of all my sins, shame and grief
Be the Lord of my life
And keep me safe
HOPE:It is done
Your sins are gone
You are now my son
And I love you less than none
With a loud noise
Let Heaven rejoice
Over the souls of girls and boys
Who have finally made this choice.
