I WISH
- I wish
I could see the world
- but I
cant unfurl the sail of my life
- strife
is all around
- and is
so profound
- that
I can hear its sound
- as it
stalks its pray round and round
-
- I wish
I could see my soul
- but its
so cold
- I cant
bare to look on something Ive sold
-
- I wish
I can hear the ocean
- and smell
the sea
- but I
would scarce to be free
-
- I wish
I could be could be the voice of the voiceless
- but nobody
would hear
- so it
is useless to have a voice
- in a
voiceless world
