Only Fools Wish

by Elrinixis

Only a fool wishes

For peace.

Everyone knows

Humans only know

Violence.

 

Only a fool wishes

For love.

Everyone knows

Humans only know

Betrayal.

 

Only a fool wishes

For life.

Everyone knows

Humans only know

Its suffering.

 

Only a fool wishes

For death.

Everyone knows

Humans only want

Life.

 

Only a fool wishes.
