I Wish

I wish I had the right answer to every question. I wish I could cure cancer by a mere suggestion. I wish life was simple and not so complicated. I wish I had a good wife and didn’t feel so alienated! I wish racism didn’t exist; I wish we lived in a world of peace. I wish women would not feel a man’s fist; I wish domestic violence would cease! I wish there was no poverty; that everyone lived comfortably. I wish everyone would be healthy-emotionally and physically-for eternity! I wish no one experienced headaches; that genuine love would just spread. I wish there were no earthquakes and no wars to cause bloodshed! I wish Dr. King was alive; that he could see the first black President. I wish the millions of Jews survived; that they’d not experienced such torment! I wish everyone on earth, would one day make it to Heaven. I wish all heroes would rebirth, including the victims of 9/11!
