Hopelessness

𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥

Friends, just sharing some thoughts I had to get outta my head.

---

Hopelessness.

I know that feeling.

And today, millions of people around the world are experiencing it.

I was once so hopeless that I became comfortable with that feeling. I urge you to not make the same mistake. Don't get comfortable with hopelessness.

I'm sharing one of my darkest poems that might sum up how we feel today.

But please don't take it literally. Its purpose is to describe the feeling and not to get comfortable with it.

Starry nights, Dark clouds hovering above.
There seems to be anarchy in heaven.
The lords are weary of the human race,
The devil has an evil smile on his face.

There is celebration in Hell,
The imps are all rejoicing,
The Rogue is merry-making,
Hell has conquered the world.

The Gods are furious.
They want to destroy the hell below,
Which once they had created to spread love and joy.
But now they have realized their bloody mistake.

There exists no love, no joy;
There exists no mercy, no peace; 
There exists only cold bitterness;
There exists only fraud and hatred.

Is this the reason it was created?
The beautiful sky and the eternal oceans?
A baby’s cry and a mother’s kiss?
The smell of rain and the prodigious mountains?

The Gods say NO, The Devil says YES.
The Gods want to destroy for good,
The Devil wants to preserve it,
And the Gods have lost the battle to the Devil.

The Gods are lugubrious, 
The Devil goes hee-haw.
The world will never come to an end,
But will continue to exacerbate.
All goodness will forever fade,
Evil is the one who will immortally reign.
