hope

all i have is hope,
hope of a day that shall
not resemble today.
and when that day does not come,
i retreat to a day gone by,
and aver that all is:
Lies upon Lies upon Lies!
whereupon, as before,
my thinking breeds,
a future of no more:
No More Lies!
No More Deeds!
No More Needs!
and my thinking done,
my dreams now dreamt,
i hope no more,
and rest assured,
i am no more,
