Seeking better days

When the darkness of their so certain pleas     fades to the grays of change

The people awaken to wonder again.

At least two choices they've claimed.

 Third, forth options overlooked.

There must be a way to be OK.

Order, control, 

Kaos, 

Something untried,

Comfortable, affordable lifestyle.

Time to be lazy as the violence of  

 desperation subsides.
