Wish
How I wish that
dreams would come true
So what we think
and hope for could be
that which shows
our way, so not to rue
the way things
are instead of what we see.
We spend our life
in hopes and dreams
why cannot more
of them become reality?
What is it in
mankind that always seems
to change what
they desire into frailty?
Why do we always
have to want
that which we
do not have
how can we change
the cant
so that we do
not become a slave?
How many of us
want that which cannot be?
Do we not show
it with every move we make
and live a life
of desire like me
changing our thoughts
as our choice of cake.
What is life but
a dream?
Should we cease
this aimless desire
and allow ourselves
to take the cream
instead of always
wanting the entire?
Oh life perhaps
is just a thought
of that which
others create for peace.
I wonder, should
the concept be bought
or should the
wish just simply cease.
