A new hope

Amy's going back to school today,
elation, jubilation streams from her face.
did the halls smell of gunpowder still?
what made the human mind dark enough to kill?
A new hope,
where is your freedom?
a new hope,
cast off your burdens.
A darker world lies behind this one.
cryptic it hides beneath perception.
we all saw it on that day,
stunned we stood stuttering.
what did the news say?
A new hope,
where is your freedom?
a new hope,
cast off your burdens.
a new hope,
where is your freedom?
a new hope,
here is your freedom.
Peace
fills us
by hope we steer
our dark hearts salvaged.
we live without fear...
