Sympathy

I wish I could love myself
like you've always loved me.
I wish I could see
whatever it is that you see.

I wish I could live free
like an ocean,
or a sea,
or a branch or a bird
sitting upon a tree.

I wish for world peace
yet there is massive war;
I live in a brute society
hoping the hungry will feed the poor.
Still it never ever ends,
and the bodies keep hitting the floor.

I wish I could resurrect all the souls
and fill in every single dark and deep hole,
We prey on figures gone astray
yet we ourselves are misled on the way.

I wish I could show my friends my heart
so at least they'd know that heaven starts
right after they've departed
and past a supposedly good life
far, far away.
