The Great Spirit whispered to the Hope
“You are the Hope of the Universe,”
“An unbroken line of the Great Light.”
So the Hope stood in front of the Fear
While millions of spirits watched them
Hope
I am the Hope,
The spirit of
The Universe.
And I am here
To stop Fear.
Fear
You are the Hope
Of no universe.
You are for despair
Some spirits follow
Me my way, my logic
I always thought you
Were one for the future,
Hope
I am here.
So challenge me.
Fear.
Hope.
Desirer
It is a sacred place.
You will respect the old tradition.
Fear
I always thought of you,
Were one for tradition
Desirer,
Hope.
I accept your challenge
If only to personally
Fight the power out
Of your hopeful spirit.
Hope fought with Fear
It took them so long
Fear
I have no time for this.
Desirer!
Desirer
It is a sacred place.
You will respect the old tradition.
Fear turned to Hope
And a million spirits cried,
“Fear’s cheating!”
“Cheating! Cheating! Cheating!”
“Shame on you! Shame on you, Fear!”
“You cheat, Fear!”
“This is not our way!”
But Fear drained Hope,
Hope
You have no honour!
Hope had shown the millions
That HOPE is forever but
Hope had gone to sleep.
And Fear had left.
And Desirer cried out
To all millions of spirits
Desirer
You will follow this,
Fear?
Will you?
You will follow this,
Fear?
I will not.
I follow a true Spirit.
The HOPE.
