Wishes For the World--Not Me

There are times I'd like to find A genie with a lamp inside Three wishes would just be grand Giving me a helping hand To fix problems that I see On this earth that shouldn't be Happening cause its just wrong And running on way too long I would love to do this first Put abusers on this earth That take away the innocence Of animals and small children Into a whole so dark and deep Covered so no air can seep Into their dungeon of doom Feeling the pain and gloom They've caused other without seeing They will be the ones soon grieving My second wish could be toward Moving this great motion froward Making same sex marriage legal So their free just like an eagle Flying high with open wings Someday this new law will bring Hearts together joined as one A new life will have begun Acceptance will start to transform Haters seeing the lovelorn Can be any combination Of sexual orientation Third and last would certainly Be the best wish I can see No more bad sickness or hunger We need poverty to go under So everybody has enough Medicine food and other stuff Keeping them healthy and strong They can live a life that's long And not die before their time We all need to try and find A way to make sure this whole planet Has enough supplies to grant it These are things I really wish Would come true--not be dismissed A world of coming all together Granting these wishes forever Then magic would soon fill the air Invading people everywhere As their breathing it all in A more loving world will soon begin

It would take a lot more than just three wishes to solve all the current problems in the world. Nice write.

I really Love how Robin's pieces are bold and thought-provoking. It's like an endless assault of sharp facts that causes the readers to feel every word and start caring.

I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have daydreamed about a Genie in a lamp granting me 3 wishes and for what I would wish. Loved this piece, sweet pea! :)
