“Why do I proclaim such an imperative on hope:
and the reasonable expectation of the inevitability
of the return of hope?”
“THIS is my reply!
To not do so would be to cravenly surrender to - and drown in -
the ocean of despair that calls me siren-like to oblivion!
To recognise and accept the challenges of adversity is not to give in,
give up or abdicate one’s imperative responsibility in life:
to take steps, actions or the setting of goals,
to validate one’s existence, to celebrate success
in whatever form it comes; have reason
to to believe that hope is achievable and
hope that the application of reason
is a pathway to experiencing the re-birth of hope.
“Cry Havoc! Unleash the dogs of war!”
Even in the tumult and carnage of battle
we will celebrate our shared humanity!
We will sing our fractured song of praise.
We will shout our lonely “Hallelujah!”
