Hope! Hope! Where are you my friend?<\/p>\n
Hiding again.<\/p>\n
Your nemesis, your archenemy, beckons you.<\/p>\n
I beckon you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope! Hope! Where are you my friend?<\/p>\n
Hiding again.<\/p>\n
Come fight your battle. Find your strength.<\/p>\n
I beckon you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Can you hear me, through all of this noise?<\/p>\n
I know you are there. I\u2019ve seen you before.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cShow your face!\u201d Your adversary dares.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have defeated you before and I\u2019ll defeat you again.\u201d Fear shouts boldly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope! Hope! Where are you my friend?<\/p>\n
Stop hiding!<\/p>\n
Emerge. Demonstrate your strength.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your enemy, my enemy,<\/p>\n
fuels the masses,<\/p>\n
emboldens a few,<\/p>\n
promotes vulgarity,<\/p>\n
fosters discrimination,<\/p>\n
advances violence,<\/p>\n
paralyzes creativity,<\/p>\n
stymies progress,<\/p>\n
obliterates reason.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your enemy, my enemy,<\/p>\n
is winning merely by your absence, your default.<\/p>\n
Emerge. Demonstrate your strength.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope? Is that you?<\/p>\n
I think I hear you.<\/p>\n
Are you stirring?<\/p>\n
I think I hear you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
