Elucidating Questions

I’ve run out of one wishes

Too many complications

One wish was when wishes weren’t needed

One wish was when all I needed was freedom

Gave a wish for something that was destined to happen

A waste, can I have a do over?

So many people to bring back

So many wrongs to end

I had to become all powerful

I am not

And I wish I could bring some better thing to this world

But it’s not possible for someone like me to leave a mark

They make sure of it

I’d have to have some semblance of self

There is none here

この自分

It has no will to exert its will

But to talk to crows

Feels guilty picking up the piggies because it stops their agency as creatures

What is this me?

Can I wish myself back?

Was I even here at all?

And I can watch the young and feel joy at their existence

And then dread for their life

Do you dread for the children?

This is not a world to pass down

This is not

And school is still built to teach them how to succeed but not how to fail

Success being the only option

I digress

But not really because these problems and wishes

I’d wish them a better world

Why, it’s all I want for them

People glowering at how protected our kids are these days (they’re not, that’s a lie) when that should have been the goal!

Did we not work hard for something better?

When did that stop?

I understand it’s merely been a ruse for profit

But at some point the people believed they were doing the best for whomever came next

We’re all so focused on making other people miserable

Now I have to ask the Christians again

That’s the mission you think Jesus sent you on?

I wish this was a better world for them

The children

I wish this world was better for the crows gathering around me too

They’re the children too though

Aren’t we all

I wish for more wishes

Ah, I’ve never been one to follow the rules

You may deliver them in the form of shooting stars or random explosions in space (which I will now also be wishing on)
