When Reality Intrudes

I wish I were a snowflake
On a warm summer day
That melts peacefully away
Before it witnesses reality

I wish the coming of a dawn
Which distinguish white from black
That takes the mask off the oppressor
And liberates the trodden innocent

I wish to live in a world
Not oblivious to suffering of others
Where every life is deemed sacred
And Peace that embraces all

I wish the present was not as it is
Mountains of trouble were not as high as they are
Oceans of hatred become calm and shallow
Chasms between dream and reality disappears!
