Every day your fear
Will overcome your joy
If what you wish is what you wish
When you try to be fearless
You wish for joy
You wish for peace
You wish the world to be
Better tomorrow than yesterday
Wishes clashing fighting now
What can you do with this
There’s unrest in the streets
There’s laws between the sheets
What justifies the mess we’ve made
What codifies the rain
Wish and wish and wish some more
Two puppets playing Punch and Judy
A fiasco for our flight
So we will never look behind
And stop the hands performing
We cheer and shout as if we were
At wrestlers ringside brewing
Wish and wish and wish some more
And all our rights go out the door
So we can work and still remain
Not middle class but poor
Always begging for the scraps
Fewer falling to the floor
We bark and wag regardless
For these wishing days
Upon us
