My Wish

Oh! I wish history is not in existence And yesterday stays out of reference Perhaps ground will die of hunger In this case no life is in danger There is only present and past rots in darkness And life has no fullstop, but long and endless So that we see ground ground sir So that we see ground ground ma I wish no fear in man's heart And death kills the death So that no end to man's life And forever we live the life The old becomes young And the young remains the young Incoming generation meets this generation And love homes hearts of generations I wish no wrinkle in mother's face And fresh does father's face Like a child of twenty years Like moon mother's beauty shines And ash bush becomes black When shaves no grey but black They dance not without drum, Like leaves on the stream I feel like they want to prostrate For me when we take a jaunt Me child now their father Oh God I can take this no further!

If only we have the power to turn our wishes into a project; maybe, that's when we will actualize them.But, wishes can't stop being wishes...Nicely penned dear

You search for an Uptopia, Afolabi! Let's do away with time and age, pain and problems, birth and death....for those who believe in an eternal perfect afterlife all this is possible! Regards // paul

wow, this is a very refreshing poem. I saw a movie once on this theme. It went to a dark place. But the way you imagine it, I would guess this to be paradise!
