Analysis of After All Hope Is Gone
After all hope is gone
and fantasy erased
there is genesis and verities faced
After all hope is gone
and hankering dispelled
there is contentment and desires corralled
After all hope is gone
and illusion dislodged
there is awareness and mirages barraged
After all hope is gone
and apathy rebuffed
there is jollity and decadence snuffed
After all hope is gone
and intention shunted
there is direction and dawdle stunted
After all hope is gone
and obsession renounced
there is liberty and spellbinding trounced
