If I had three wishes
I wouldn't wish to be pretty
I wouldn't wish to be popular
I wouldn't wish to have a boyfriend
I would wish to change the world

First, I would wish
For no incurable diseases
Cancer, polio, AIDS
Thousands of people die
They deserve happiness

Second, I would wish
For world poverty to end
People should have equal opportunities
All people should be given a chance

Third, I would wish
For equality
People should love who ever they want
Gays , lesbians
Treated like they are a mistake
They are human and have rights
