Analysis of The House of Hope and Hopelessness
Nobody dares to get close
and nobody seems to know
that the people living
in the House of Hope and Hopelessness
know why there is pain and pleasure to be found
and why the earth and planets are moving around
so living may be hard
when only allowed being kind
to pictures form the past
and things in the street they can find
but they bear it with dignity and pride
finding the wisdom
from being on the outside
in the House of Hope and Hopelessness
they know why there is pain and pleasure to be found
and why the earth and planets
are moving around
