hope as dope

it gives faith in all mankind you see

that the darkest times are not behind

that hope is not a thing to have at all

that the one bad thing we have is called the mind

the mind is natures trickster don't you see

it makes us think we know for sure whats there

when all that's really there is what's imagined

mostly phantom visions everywhere

hope is something way out in the future

not what's here inside the now and here

so I make the things that are before me

like an artists canvas painted there

when my world knows what is truly missed

all wars will end with what i know as "This"
