Hope is lost

My uncle once told me, hope is what makes people strive for something godlike. Somehow those words were never forgotten. My life saw its shares of despair, but hope was always there.

And a year ago my uncle said; "hope is dead" And i looked at him and asked;"what do you mean?",
when he said;" In pandoras little box, there was always hope"

And he looked at me and said;" I understand why you locked it away"
I sat quiet for a while, and said; "Hope brings out the worst, when you have everything and nothing"
