Hope Is a Risk

From Cole Arthur Riley, author of Black Liturgies (Amazon):

Hope is a risk; especially when you've known what it is to dream for better and only be met with the tyranny of degradation, greed, and violent appetites. But despair is a concession. Be careful of who you let regulate your dreaming. Always remember who benefits from our hopelessness.
