Be as you wish to seem. By Socrates I stood in a ditch, shrouded by darkness I felt void as if the universe was falling apart The wind moved silently through tree emptiness Was it a hell that varied according to a sin chart? There was utterly no vitality in the twilight My restless soul vanished into stimulating sight I prayed nonstop for meekness and delight. What is my wish—a shooting star just for me? I wish for world peace and a wagerer world spree and that the kids of earth will not be hungry. The sight of a single light gave me hopefulness The sky was bathed in the light of magic heart Then I gazed in awe as the moon rose bright My kids, you are the stars that cure timeless glee.

When we pray for the good of others and the world, God grants our prayer and we feel our world suddenly getting illuminated. Great poem.

A worthy wish, Sotto. Considering over 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. We simply don't know how blessed we are. I enjoyed the read. Be well!
