HOPE by Ejike Eze (esq)

Hope is such a powerful emotion.

It has been mined and manipulated by generations of smart people to get by in no small way and I am careful with words here.

What will the day , tomorrow or next week feel like without hope ? 

Hope for a better life, better results and outcomes even in the face of abysmally skewed odds!

Life is a pain and we must continue to create hope to get through each day .

Now some have moved  hope to another court . The Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Some  had hoped in the appeal  court. Lived the hope even when our heads and environment screamed otherwise. Our hearts kept hoping. It was the only way to keep going. 

In a few months , we may begin to hope in the African Court of Justice , United Nations or the mirage like intervention of some foreign powers, or some supreme deity whose track record should ordinarily call for caution. We may even hope for the poisonous chalice of men in boots and armed with our guns.

Hope must be kept alive, even if to reduce for a short while , the hopeless misery that our lives are.
