Magic

If I had the magic wand in my hand Oh smugly before God I will stand and proclaim that if only for a day I finally get to do things my way. I’ll undo all He verily so far has done and see that love reigns, hate gone, One world living as one in harmony made not of tribes and nations many. I’ll shrink the enormity of the heavens, In His name forbid to wield any weapons, Make the scorching deserts a sanctuary since wilderness doesn’t seem necessary. I’ll rewind the time to the days of yore and reset it to the simpler state as before, Make man gentler and content to the core For what I have seen, I can see no more. But wait, I can wish this magic wand forever to use day after day -- now isn’t that clever? Work out a treaty between God and the Devil and hope good and evil to each other be civil. ~03/17/23 ~Contest: Writing Challenge 'M' words ~Sponsor: Constance La France.
