Poetry 101: Poem about Hope
Unleash the Hope
Like the wild feathered creatures in an open cage,
The myriad evils flew out the box in rampage.
Pandora shut the box with hate but she's too late.
All freed to bring hell on Earth–humanity's fate.
Disaster’ wrath scourging over the land and sea,
While accompanied by Havoc and Misery.
Bombs and firearms ready, War was set upon men.
Blowing up minds and shooting their hearts, now and then.
Then Poverty came, many pockets were emptied,
While famine dilated men's pupils, stomach cleared.
Noxious Disease spreds power over the planet,
And Death with touch that grabs souls for Hades to meet.
Then some evils are lurking within humankind,
In their keen pink tongues,effete hearts and wicked minds.
They seem to reign; humans shed tears, sweat and blood,
And they need the silver lining in every cloud.
Evils around the clock, humankind's on the rocks.
Humans need what's left inside the Pandora's box;
Their fire in cold dark nights, rope to pull in steep slopes.
Please open the box again and unleash the Hope.
Sorry, not a professional. I'm just a high school student. This poem was written in school. Open for suggestions to improve :)
It should be a five four-stanza poem with 12 syllables each line. (The structure becomes different after publishing)
Hope in Pandora's box. Lol, that would be the irony. Exactly what we need
