Keep Hope Alive
Dragged along the ground in pain,
With the fear that they will be slain.
Tortured with the crule, sharp whip,
Whenever they are slow or trip.
Carried along like useless sacks,
With bloody scars along their backs.
The stench of orcs in the air,
The smell almost impossible to bear.
Walking for hours down the never ending road,
Their grief and pain a heavy load.
aching feet and tired, sleepy heads,
Longing for comfort in warm, soft beds.
Days passing by like long, dark dreams,
With orcs plotting evil schemes.
Of pain, dis-comfort, the end of life,
With maybe a whip, sword or knife.
But hope the hobbits must keep,
Hope will help them rest, help them sleep.
Hope will keep alive their spirits and minds
For help and rescue may not be far behind.
