Hope Sits In The Trenches

Hope sits in the trenches,

the last one standing,

its teeth cracked,

its knuckles bruised,

but its eyes are still gleaming

with the light of a million lamps.

Its heart is still beating

because even here,

even now,

it knows that a better world

is worth fighting for.
