Which Way Is It To Hope
By: Boomie Bol
which way is it to hope
And how do we get there from here
a distance so far removed
from a future mostly unknown
an ageless question
that transcends time and class
yet finds its answer(s) in the same line
requiring that we begin inward
searching for truth within ourselves
the most authentic version of Hope. our Hope
not the parceled package charm
of social media
nor the noise of prosperity preachers
but the firm awareness of today’s realities
along with the reassurance
of better tomorrow’s
because the future is not so far removed
neither is it distant
it is here it is now
albeit mostly unknown
it requires Hope
from deep within
