succor of hope
No bondage is worse than the hope of happiness.’– Carlos Fuentes, Diana: The Goddess Who Hunts Alone, Bloomsbury, 1995
HOPE BONDAGED
Then let us never be free;
Of not knowing, yet hoping for,
Blue skies, even though every tree,
Is felled by an angry wind;
Too unkind. Let us never be free,
Of the wish of sunflowers
Blooming in every heart, key
To the door of peace and stability;
When greed ravishes the sea,
Big fish swallowing the small
In gulps, let us never be free.
