Analysis of Until Every Hope Is Gone
Nothing is over and done
until every hope is gone.
If there is room for romance
most will choose to sing and dance.
If there is a house expanse
most will choose to build a manse.
If there is a job advance
most will choose to have finance.
If there is a transference
most will choose to look askance.
If there is conflict to lance
most will choose to take a stance.
If there is allure to prance
most will choose to sneak a glance.
If there is the slightest chance
most will choose to life enhance.
Nothing is over and done
until every hope is gone.
