Three Wishes

Three wishes, only three wishes demand.
Take it or leave it,
No refunds command.

You'll ask what all the rest do,
Beauty, and fame,
and riches galore.

A trip to the moon,
Or maybe a fountain of fortune.
Offers and gesture,
and maybe dreams too?

Speak to your soul;
No! that's too soon.
Who am I talking to?
What did I hope to do?

A beacon of hope,
A tool for destruction,
A chalice of madness,
A symbol for more.

Day in and day out,
All I do,
is grant wishes for these fools.

They never ask,
for world peace or freedom,
An end to this injustice,
A way out of this pandemonium.

It's never the things that matter.
It's never the things that should.

So, three wishes and three wishes only.
What will I grant today?
Another meaningless rant.

Three wishes and three wishes only.
Take it or leave it,
so I can one day be free.
