If I Had One Wish

If you had one wish,
Just one,
What would you
Wish for?

A million dollars?
An amazing car?

Or would you wish
To end world hunger?
Or world peace?

If you had one wish,
Would you wish
For Love?
For hate? Revenge?

If I had one wish,
I’d wish for
All these tragedies,
Shootings, Bombings To
VANISH.

This grants me everything.

Which do you choose?
To have millions
Or None?
To help others?
Or one?
To have Love
Or None?

If I had one wish,
I’d help the greater good,
Not to help me,
Or benefit one who doesn’t
Need it.

To help everyone in need,
Not the Others.


The author's comments:
The poem I wish to publish is a topic I noticed by asking my close friends one simple questions, If you had one wish, what would it be? When I received my answers, it shocked me. None I received were to benefit others. Many said that they would wish for great amounts of money, or electronics. When I answered my question, my answer was completely different. World peace, world hunger, things like that, is what I would wish for. Or all these tragedies we faced as a nation in 2012 to 2013. I think I want to get my poem published because I want to change people’s points of view when they could have one wish. Just one wish, could change the world, or destroy it. That is my lesson in my poem, and I want to project it to others, who may think differently.
