I Wish

I wish it were easy,

To detect a lie - when told,

Though innocent faces and smiles;

But then I hide the truth - all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To be loved than love,

Where everyone plucks a loved flower;

But then I hate - all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To take a deep breath,

Even in a world so polluted;

But then I keep running - all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To tell wrong from right,

And set absolute rules to a relative world;

But then I break them - all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To find world peace,

And smile at strangers;

But then I look away in opia - all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To not alert the words of the heart,

And let it bloom - light or dark;

But then I stay quiet - all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To understand people,

And so their creator;

But then I don't even understand myself.

I wish it were easy,

To tell the truth,

And let see the beauty in all;

But then I lie all the time.

I wish it were easy,

To be what you want to,

And establish order and peace;

But then I don't know who I am.

I wish it were easy,

To feel the soul than touch the body,

For the world to be lovely over lusty;

But then I hold my soul firm and deep.

I wish it were easy,

To talk than to write,

To bow than to fight;

But then always, I keep my pen beside.
