Wishing Makes it True
Most people live in strange fairy tales.
What happens if their godmother fails?
Sometimes, after the end of the ball,
there is no golden carriage at all.
Then what will these dreamers do,
if there is no prince with a golden shoe?
Those who think justice will always win
will be faced with reality then.
Life is a matter of attitude
so don’t let pessimism intrude.
And yet, false dreams are only a scam;
don’t look at a pig and see a ham.
Just look reality in the eye.
“There, but for the whim of gods, am i.”
