Tragic Truths and Hope

*NOTE* This is a two-part acrostic TRAGIC TRUTHS Tragic truths in life exist that cannot be escaped. Rage will fuel the lustful fist, as innocence is raped. Agony shall never die, for hearts are built to break. Guiltless killers never cry for those whose lives they take. Indigence and dearth deprive the starving mouths their dues. Children cry and battered wives tell lies for every bruise. Tyrants still oppose the peace - the meek accept their chains. Racist acts shall fail to cease, as long as hate remains. Users steal from those they love to feed dependencies. Time will slowly rob us of our youthful liberties. Horrors of the war machines will rage their death campaign. Sorrow fills our tv screens - to shock and entertain. HOPE Hope exists within the soul to lead us all to grace. Only hope will help console the tragic truths we face. Pain and loss in every heart can all just fade away. Everyone can play a part - give hope a chance today.
