Challenge - If I had one wish

If I had one wish... what would it be.

Would I fly like a bird to see all that I could see

Would I scream and shout, because I was free

From all the things that weigh me down, like people and gravity.

Or maybe I would choose to breathe in water, 

Where dolphin love to play and venture

Where whales sing freely in songs of laughter

And life is as alien here, as it is, in the here-thereafter

Maybe I would wish away all the worlds sadness and pain

Seeing it, makes me weep, till I stand on the edge of being insane

for how can we live with all our blessing falling like rain

While others are abandoned, raped and killed again and again

Perhaps then, its not for me, this wish to make

Perhaps, rather my wish is for others to partake

In the wishing away wishes and all nonsense that's fake,

And rather to make the need for wishes irrelevant, for the whole of Humanities Sake
