If I let myself
Be afraid from the world news
Despair comes courting

Scorn its advances
Despair is a vile suitor
A leech on your will

Instead, embrace Hope
Pursue action, large or small
Speak encouragement

Each word of hope is
passing a bucket brigade
of courage to all

It'll take more than hope
But despair's the enemy
of all good people
