We have a saying in Hindi which says “Ummeed Pe Duniya Kayam hai ”
The world runs on hope/The world is stable because of hope

OK, I suggest you go to “ADMISSIONS OF A STRUCTURE JUNKY” (To the right of the page) and under “Select Categary” click on “Senryu”. There are currently 524 entries there. That should keep you busy for a while. ๐
