@JessicaLynnt has issued her weekly poetry challenge with the words "evil, good, night, day, fear and hope." Here is my effort:
Hope
As night falls on the village
some feel hope for the dawn,
fear no evil that might stride
through darkness, knowing
their day was good.
Others, in cardboard shanties,
fear the the night, can only hope
for a warmer, safer dawn, darkness
without threat, some food, perhaps,
for the morning.
Welcome to this weekend’s Suddendeath poetry challenge, Sides! Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you....

I enjoyed your poem. Shows the flip side of "living."
