The Wizard

Fed up with life a man was meditating

Everything around him could only be irritating

He thought he would end up his existence imitating

His motto was somehow to be always creating

How could things not work the way he had wanted

He  wanted now a wish of his to be granted

The garb of helplessness had to be shed

He asked the devil to help him by giving his blood

Soon the great metamorphosis occurred

The man was turned into a wizard                     

He could use his magic wand and cast a spell

But that was only the threshold of hell

Lazy and dependent became the man

Without his wand he was only a bare land

He believed more in the wand than in himself

Only then did he realise the power of being oneself
