And that's the thing about the future. It's unknown, unknowable, but before you know it, you're there.

Desperation is the rope
pulling you towards the horizon of abandonment

Desperation is jumping,
taking the chance with nothing to lose

Desperation is hate
emanating from the needs of the world

Desperation is the candle
lit in hope for a better day to come
