I WISH

Evarist Mgisha Fimbo 2022 (Shinyanga)



I wish to talk,
 talk about love,
 let's get together on a walk,
 I wish to date,
 date a beautiful girl,
but it's my heart I don't wanna bet,
I wish to hate,
on the wrongs you did,
but the decision is on fate,
I wish to cry,
and relieve the pain,
but eyes are dry,
I wish to revenge,
revenge your cruelty,
but I drew a new page,
I wish to be honest,
honest about everything,
but none's the closest,
I wish to tell you life's a joke,
a joke on everyone,
but all you care is an iced coke,
I wish to end this writing,
with a simple word,
that's there's no need to be hating,
I wish you spread love,
love all over the world,
peacefully as a dove.

About this poem

It's about the things we always need to settle and make them right but time is always not on our side ending up wishing if we fulfilled it once and for all.
