The world suddenly became sad. <br />There was too much cheering, <br />Too much unsubstantiated hope; <br />Hopes were only dreams <br />Evaporating even faster; <br />What was needed was to build them <br />But we stood hypnotized, <br />Paralyzed by that sudden revelation, <br />Accusing the world, accusing hope, <br />Hoping to find another excuse <br />For another episode <br />Of postponed dying <br />Of something that had to die long ago to allow <br />Another episode of cheerful hopes; <br />But even hopes have limits <br />And in the new episode <br />The actors must face themselves.<br /><br />Dejan Stojanovic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-is-not-happy-or-sad/
