Hope to Light the Way

Muse of Calliope

And when the earth becomes all dead, decayed 

And when the sea is dry as dust, unmade 

And when the sky is dark in shade all day      

 

We'll turn to the  stars to find our way. 

 

Until that day, we’ll seek the way and find 

A balm to ease the worried crease of mind 

In peaceful prayers and selfless acts so kind; 

 

We'll always have hope to light the way. 

 

Before the world is lost entire, on fire 

Before descending straight to hell, in mire 

A chance, redemption giv’n; so we’ll aspire 

 

To gather our hope and find the way.

  • Comment from author about the poem: In every age, the end of the world has been prophesied by almost every major religion as well as several cults, and many people panic that natural and societal disasters are signs that the end of the world is imminent and unavoidable. I believe that there's always hope for redemption, and even when there's inevitable destruction in the form of mass extinctions or civilizations collapsing, new life eventually emerges from the ashes and it is not gone forever.
