Lost Hopes



Hungry heads gathered
 together unguarded
in a mourning mood
many hungry pieces of hands

 lacking a mouthful bread
with bowels of sorrows
opening without life to unwind
race without human testimonies
people that are living dead

 in the hurdle of their tired
 hopes calling for the dreaded
end to make peace with death
this is the gathering of the lost hopes
