If Wishes Were Horses

If wishes were horses... If wishes were horses "failures" would be fusses Failure would itself fail As we would wish (it) away. If wishes were horses Beggars would ride. With worded words Worries would erode. If wishes were horses Nigeria would be healthier And the batton holders wiser Knowing we could wish them away. If wishes were horses We would all be fat Food and comfy pleasure Would not be far. If wishes were horses, Sugar coated curses Would be very obvious. We would all be conscious. If wishes were horses We would never have to pray We would just need to wish Our wants into existence. If wishes were horses Oh if wishes were horses ... But wishes are not horses. They are only but wishes. ©?Udeoba, Chisom Onyinyechukwu. #Somyblessedwords
