What I Wish

I wish to go back in time,
to the stone age world of peace,
when no hand had yet carved the blade.

I wish to go back in time,
to days without walls or war,
before we learned to divide our hearts.

I wish to go back in time,
before class carved their names,
when faith was love, not the emblem flags.

I wish to go back in time,
when greed first donned its crown,
before leaders forgot the people's breath.
