Keep hope alive
I write this one when President Obama came to visit the UK. A fence was put up from Newport all the way to Cardiff castle for him to have dinner in the castle and then afterwards go back to where he was staying in Newport. The cost of the fence could have bought a home for every homeless person in Cardiff. Although this is old news it still counts...
Does no one see the disparity of a Nobel peace prize winner dropping huge amounts of bombs to kill people in the name of peace, while those who actively promote peace are not heard of in the news outlets?
Is it not appallingly strange that the supposed ‘land of god’ commits huge atrocities against its neighbour and the land of the peace prize bomber supports them?
Why are so many protesting all over the world against their own governments that are supposed to be the voice of the people they represent but after getting into power drop that pretence and pursue their own agenda that is usually the agenda of the acquisition of money?
Why is it so almost impossible to get rid of the corrupt governments after they get into power?
The rich and powerful give lip service to some wrathful god, but in their hearts they worship the gods of money and power over all else; is this not the definition of pure hypocrisy?
Does no one find it too strange that the wealthy can open their mouths and spew out unreasonable garbage and it is spread far and wide, yet those voices for sanity are not heard on the wider stage?
Ignorance and poverty is a disease of humanity that is spread over the entire world, which is actively promoted by ones whose interest it serves, while the cure for ignorance is hidden in disinformation and does not serve their interests. An informed and aware people surely could never allow such disparity of justice of all that’s good to continue.
Orwell’s 84 is here and its insidious message is, it is too late to stop it. Yet there is hope, and for some it is hope alone that keeps them going. So if you have hope, then keep it alive somehow, for without hope we are finished and darkness will prevail.
There is a battle for the hearts and minds of everyone, for the greater good they will say, but the greater good only benefits the rich and powerful to the detriment of everyone else, yet they would have you believe the opposite.
Your heart and mind belong to you so use them wisely and understand the intrinsic value of your own being that can be found in your own heart. It is there, so keep hope alive until it is revealed to you.
We all have our disparate demons to confront, inside and out, and when first confronted grow huge to frighten us back into submission, so it takes a certain amount of courage to hold your own and be aware, that all that is not of you, will fall away, and all that is you will come to the light until you stand in your own power and feel your own heart and think your own thoughts and hope can grow strong and that there is justice in this existence that is insurmountable to the gods of fear, greed, ego, anger and lust, and that there are those on this planet that are bringing peace to quench that thirst we all have that has been buried so deep it seems so hard to find.
Never give up, there is hope. And in the words of another wise one: never lose your hope for a pocket full of snake.

This is life, this is politics and this is 'reality'. It has always been like this, it will always be like this - till .... We are either part of it, or we accept it for what it is, or we can disassociate ourselves from it. :-)
"Keep Hope Alive!' That is good. We can always hope. If not for hope, the heart would die. Cheers!
It's something I wrote years ago when Obama was in power. It's good to have somewhere to put it here on steemit. Keep hope alive...
The last line really inspired me. Thank you.
You may see it more and more now, it's becoming famous
If so then I will be more inspired.
I am glad to hear that. :-)
same here
Wow, u really nailed it with this post! But you almost scared me off with the title and the picture u used, I thought it was going to be all yay obama or Democrat.. I only read it because u put out great posts, and i am sure glad i did! Prolly the best thing i will read all day, so much truth! Thanks for sharing..
You're welcome; It had to be said; I really didn't like him trying to change British politics; although when first he became president I had high hopes for him which turned out not to be so high...
It was the same for me, such high hopes at first.. but it didn't take long to realize he was just another puppet.. its all two sides of the same coin :/
We've had no rain for a very long time and there's a draught, but right now the heavens have opened and I think we may have floods now. There's big thunder and lightning so better turn off internet just in case...
At the end of it all what keeps us going in the hope that it will get better, the hope that we can do more and yes hope do come to our aid at time if we really do hope accompanied with action.
Action is the key. Jeremy Corbyn in the UK and Bernie Sanders in the USA should begin the process for the whole world; so I support these two
Brilliant blog mate! hope is is the thing that defines that you are a Human, you wrote it really well.
Thanks; it's nice to have a good comment on something that I've written...
