MY ONLY WISH

why should flowers be picked ?

and why beauty is killed ?

why must the truth be denied?

and why blood is spilled?

My throat aches bitter

my bones got fritter

I was foxily deceived

through deceptive scruffy glitter !

The fire in me enkindles

and makes me embitter

for any good it hinders

I am a glass so brittle!

Like howling stinging mad wind

False accusation is coming my way

that burns my skin

and darkens my day :S

My safety is robbed

for loyalty i swapped

till i lost everything

and on my face i was flapped !

My only wish is

to remove the hatred from the air

to kill the selfishness

that spreads everywhere !

i want to be the beauty

when ugliness spreads !

i want to be the dress of peace

when peace jackets shred !

I wish i can be the warmth

when this planet turns cold

i will be the only treasure

when jewels are sold

when weakness becomes fashionable

i will just be bold !

when principles are lost

for mine i will hold !
