A WISH (Poem)

I wish the sun upon this land will forever set

And the clever moon will take eternal rest

I wish the stars will lose their fading light

That darkness might lay its wonted nest

I wish the history books were better written

That I was in deed a hero not the outcast villain

I wish yesterday’s record can easily be undone

That myself I might rekindle to never be alone

I wish the sky will never again weep in pain

That there might never be such thing as rain

I wish the soggy clouds above will dry and drain

That rainfall might never be seen again

I wish our paths never had crossed

That my story you never did know or read

I wish we never grew close or get accustomed

That from you this piteous me was hid

I wish the rivers will overflow to blazing flood

That the waters might raze this land for good

I wish nature itself had long been murdered

That my glum like wildfire might spread abroad

I wish myself I can erase as a forgotten folklore

That it come to early end this sorry tale of woe

I wish to dream and to wake no more

That this nightmare might forever be gone
