Hope

Drop a man into an ocean with no land in sight

He gives up immediately

He accepts that death is inevitable

Give that man a log

He Clings on to it , like every day as his last

He floats with a sole purpose even when there is no land in sight

Then

Give him a target , a place , that is far far away ,

So far that he can never reach it ,

but can still see it

Now

He throws all the logic out

He refuses to lay down

He mindlessly swims

He feverishly prays

He begs to the unknown

all for something he will never have

He who suffers

Oh ! dear hope ,

you poisonous little rat
