HOPE DEFERRED
Coral Gathman Cook
To Hope against Hope
Is to exercise Futility
In its most Agonizing Form
To Waste Oneself
On the most
Dangerous of Human Miseries
Hope Deferred
Is not any Real Hope at all
But is rather a Mockery
Spit in the Face
Of the truly Needy in Spirit
For Hope cannot Wait
When One is Desperate enough
