Waning Hope

(c) Mark D. Holt
 
 

I once had dreams and aspirations,
my name would be known throughout the nations.
Then I lost my job and went on the dole,
it ate my morale and swallowed my soul.
For years I have been unemployed,
my life's become empty... null and void.
I still have faith though, in that I dare to say,
things may yet change, and I shall have my day.
