Atom of Hope

We beat our tracks back to the highway

And find intimations of privileges come to play.

In the scheme of things, an atom of hope is pivotal,

Like a band of metaphors strapped to a verse of poetry.

A hundred million destinies marinate in the cauldron.

The pleadings of urgency wake the cries of the dawn.

Tomorrow hurries up, with pregnant clouds, bringing sheaves.

A million seeds arise to take the lead and will achieve.
