Poem Title:
Poem
It's that special day and you stroll the lonely beach, when out of nowhere you stub your toe on a lamp that falls right out of reach. Suddenly, a genie arises and looks deeply into your eyes. In your mind you hear a whisper, three wishes I will grant as long as you don't tell me your lies. With these wishes come no parameters, with these wishes you can do what you want. Heed this only warning: don't take this as me trying to flaunt. With power, with respect, with the things you think you want, will not bring you happiness, will not bring you joy, butt a life only full of haunt. Wishing for your own makes you selfish, wishing for all wouldn't work with a million wishes and your sanity with in. If there could be one wish that would fix everything, one wish to make it all great. I have one suggestion that fits what you seek, one suggestion that would end all hate. It would take hours to have you list all the issues in this world, it would take longer to fix 'em. Now if you would, imagine the issues that would disappear in a flash, the issues that when thought of make you numb. If the first human treated the next with compassion, the world would be so much better. If we as humans shared compassion with each other, none of us would ever be a regretter. Now rethink that list of issues in the world if you will, think about your list of personal wishes. Would they be a thing? Will one of them still be to pay that one bill? Don't waste your one wish yo, don't try to make only a few happy please, if you are every really granted one wish consider compassion to all and bring so many to their knees.
