All political careers begin in hope and end in despair



The hero dies

as a human and is reborn
as our fantasy of hope
and the better life.


Slowly they make change,
and disillusion yet
another
lonely mother
or bitter farmer.


As the dark Lord
gains life again,
a human
somewhere
stirs to fight.

And we dare
to hope

again.
