Genies |Come And Go
Walking on a seashore on a foreign holiday
Cataloging shells along the bay
I stumbled on a bottle and much to my surprise
I held my breath and watched the genie rise
Three wishes he would grant me though I would have my way
He cautioned of the price that I must pay
For surely you’ll be happy when you’ve made you choices clear
But keep in mind that time still passes here
Oh these many years that I have come to dream
Though peace and love and progress hoped to find
I never knew how easily these could come to be
You’ve only to imagine with your mind
Allow your soul to be returned in kind
As satellites and wishing stars pass overhead rejoice
Though genies come and go we have a choice
Brave are those among us who would fight until the death
Let us be reminded it was not at their request
Politics it comes and goes and wars rage on insane
Compromise is viewed as weakness just the same
It’s a wonder that we’ve made it a miracle perceived
The threads of life are added to the weave
