Wishes

I wish we were born free 
To soar just like this bird 
 on a tree 

I wish we were born vile 
That we don't have our wrongs stored in a file 

I wish that sex was not a sin
So we might have it even when we are seen 

I wish there was nothing like money 
That I never worry about work in the morning

I wish we never have to marry 
That we never have to worry about dowry 

I wish the world is ruled my magic 
That we are all as wise as the magi 

I also wish the world is free from pain 
That all our hustles amounts to gain 

I wish the east is close to the west 
That nothing in life amounts to waste 

I wish there was nothing like religion 
That we are as wild as a pigeon

I wish I was a witch, So I could fulfill all my wishes 

I also wish there was no rules, That I could pen this verse as I wish.
