Hope is Rationed

July 24, 2021

we are rationing hope,

supplies having gone far too short

the run on the storehouses

has left the shelves bare

of every type of hope.​​ 

there used to be plenty to go round

but now there’s not much of any kind

a few pockets here and there

but the crop is mostly exhausted

so we encourage everyone

to share whatever hope remains

to stretch out the supply

knowing that hope grows best

when shared.
