This is a rather dark poem told in first person by future trunks in a world with the androids. I may use it as a prologue to a fic I do later. BTW, if you've seen the series, 'Hope!!' is the name of his time machine. A correlation? I think so…
The Final Hope
@---[---- By Joshw
Time stands still
Where will they strike next?
Uncertainty
Why is this the way it is!?
This hellish view from atop the rubble I sit
The hatred and gloom of death out of cold blood lies before me.
It is a dead child
No more than 5 years old
Have those monsters any Mercy
I should have know the answer
Of course not
They were designed to kill
I am designed to protect
But alas, I am no good, for i get beaten every time
I tried, as did my master.
Who was slain in their taunting game
I tried, as I have
He died, as I have been lucky to avoid
Eventually death will come to all of us
But to some, it will come earlier
I must stop that from happening
But what can I do?
Get stronger?
Maybe, but will it be enough?
Will I be killed also?
I am the only one left
I have failed
Family
Friends
People who I know
Those who I do not
I will not sit around and watch it happen again
I must resist
If death comes,
So be it
It will keep coming until they are stopped
They won't be stopped until I stop them
I will go now
I will fight
I will protect
I am the final Hope
