Make a Wish

Make it so that all hearts' discs are unformatted,
To rid them of hatred, greed and discrimination.
Pray they become clean and pure, as when created.
Teach them anew; love, generosity and compassion
To ensure a bright future for our next generation!

Thanks Eve, it has been my first trial of this form of poetry. I studied at univ. but never tried to compose lines in this way. I'm happy it has been appreciated. :) Sunita

That's true...if only we could...But I feel human has gone on a one way track with no U-turn and towards its destruction it goes unfortunately. Thanks you enjoyed it Sandra :)
