Passages we have known
we thought we ought to have hope
or hopelessness would have won
the ballots stacked against us
the chains, all those chains linking
us to some strange history
a real page turner, a mystery
so many of us without a clue
so many graves, so many shoulders.
the chains fall away but
the cost is heavy.

"We thought we ought to have hope--" like an obligation not to give up.
