I Wish"

by GSYH

This is something, that could be about Quatre, or how everyone feels sometimes. Watching helpless as bad things happens, knowing that there will always be tears. It may be sappy, but please read and think about it. Thank you.

Please Read

This poem could be about Quatre, or it applies to everyone who felts. Though the GW boys kills, they are not cruel. Heero kills to complete his mission, so does Trowa, Duo, and Quatre. Wufei fought for justice. But in my opinion, the GW force themselves to kill for kindness. They kept on fighting to defend those who are kind. So does Sally, Noin, and many others who risk their lives during the war. They didn't enjoy killing, it torments their conscience. They stain their hands with blood so the others don't have to, so those they protect may remain innocent and safe.

The kind people in our world is fighting too, in a different way but for the same purpose. We all want this world to be a better place, yet we mostly watch, helpless at the many tragedies we can not stop. Sad movies gets to me. I am not a sappy person and despise romance, but I get very emotional during movies where people died from a gang fight, diseases like cancer. I am not sad because the character died, I know the actors are alive and well, my heart only ach a little, when I know that what I watch, does happen. I laugh through Scream the first time, because it is impossible. I didn't even scream as the body piles and it gets bloodier, because it does not happen in real life; teens get mow down one by one for no reasons? Then 13 people got hunted down and the killers, only teenagers, killed themselves before the police arrived. There is a possibility of Scream, though it may not be that "Guess where I am Sydney" crap, it happens, senseless killings Scream quote: "Isn't it more scary when there is no motive?". Not long ago in Toronto, a 15 year old boy was beaten to death for a cigarette. There seems to be death and suffering everywhere I turn. I felt so helpless that I can not stop it, that there always will be suffering, that as I type someone is dying.

"I Wish"

I saw a shooting star and made a wish,

"Let the world be perfect".

I wanted everyone to be happy.

I wanted everyone to be friends.

I wanted a world without hatred, pain, or tears.

Where it is really true,

That people are basically good.

Then I knew it can not be,

I can not change the world.

So I tried to change me.

I wish I am blind and can not see, death that will always be.

I wish I am deaf and can not hear, families and friends crying, for a lost so young.

I wish my heart were stone and can not feel, suffering that is all around me.

I shut myself away, and try to ignore; hungry children, incurable diseases, people growing old alone, violence.

Then I took another look.

Sunshine, green grass, laughers, my friends.

I can not push away the world.

There are good things, but what about the bad?

So I decided.

I can not change the world.

But I can affect those around me, no matter how little

So visit old homes, help out in food drives, speak out against violence, and smile for everyone.

Then smile for yourself, for the smiles on others you have brought.

I can not change the world, but I am not helpless.

No matter how little, I have made the world better.

If everyone tried, then one day, the world could be perfect.

Everyone would be happy.

Everyone would be friends.

No more hatred, pain, or tears...

I am sorry if this isn't any good. It is suppose to be more like thoughts than poetry. Please tell me what you think of it.
