RIP HOPE
by Maria Terezia Ferenczupon waking this morn
I heard tell
Hope was gone
seems she took her own life
and others
deaths we all should mourn
course knowin Hope was dangerous
I stayed far away
rubbing elbows with Reality
seems safer most days
oh she was bright
yep real bubbly
damn downright gay
but anyone with a lick
of common sense knows
Happy ain't never stay'd
bein a drifter
he always been
a comin an a goin
travelin the wind
bout the time she got tanglin with 'im
most knew how it would end
see when the two was together
they lit up a room
but that kind of brightness
burns out too soon
leaving a darkness so deep
it will swallow most men
yep Happy and Hope
downright dangerous
yes Sir Amen
