"Withered Hope"

"Withered Hope"

Written by Chi Money

a prisoned clan.. from a primitive distant land

broke free from the shackles around their crimson hands

a trait left from workin their fingers to the bone

as the foundation, eager to bring a leader to the throne

built a village with a castle that had hallways.. all gold

which was also protected by a stone wall they called "Hope"

presented peace before, but centuries of war.. were heavily enforced

by all the weaponry n force.. that could never breach the source

rivals threw sticks n stones, to put their heads on a cross

and it was pieces of hope that the best of em tossed

so they stopped the negetivity and death of their boss

when those sticks n stones..

were fit to bows, n arrows.. to get the message across

this lasted generations, but hope was withering

the granit deprecation, left most considering..

a new approach to hone the stones these holes were hindering

but those arrows n litterings.. paved the roads to victory

which evil-doers destroyed to find the best of jesus

so now street by street were smashed up, broke

attacking hope as a whole, n the rest left in pieces

not knowing peace by peace they'd patch up hope..

the wall that was built, crumbled, and resused

is the rubble in the jungle we've still struggled to infuse

its a new day n age, n we'd kill to get cash gains

so the roads to success were rebuilt for the fast lane

leavin those blind to hope, to hit the gas n then swerve

as everything went black n they crashed n they burned

stars disappeared til there were no more virgos, leos..

now all you see is everyone's birthstone read: hope

sides to this wall? there were two in its history

til those on the outside.. blew it to smitherenes

wit grenades that prepelled.. to retain in our cells

which planted the walls that we create in ourselves

so to those who'll live n die by hope, n its purpose in life

whether its by the arrows, or just the courage to fight

dont see the walls in which you live, as chalking in the dirt

when hope seems it's withering.. its just evolving with the earth
