what sets us apart

What is this fickle thing that desserts us just

as the worst happens but yet stays behind

as the worst occurs?

Hope - humanity’s darling that

persists as the clock clicks by, humanity’s

last remorse. When someone asks what

sets human apart from the other animals-

the scientific would say intellect, the

romantics would say love, some would even

venture out to say that today's humans are

no different to animals, but if it were up to

. me, I would say that what sets us apart I

. is our ability to hope, to believe that the

. best would happen even against the .

. worst odds.
