Make way for hope, please
.
Silence smacks hard
But so do words
And blood spurts out
Every time
Whether one sees it or not.
Caught in between
Are a few tut-tuts, sighs
And grunts that are unable to decide
Where truth lies.

This violence is maddening
And the noise deafening
But meandering unscathed
Is hope, trying to find a way through
Blocked roads and choked emotions.

Make way for hope, please – a poem
