Wishful thinking

i hoped

that things were different

that there were no lies

no hurt nor pain

that a good gesture

need not have a hidden motive

and that people grow up

and retain childhood innocence

that everyone had enough food and shelter 

and nobody killed each other anymore

no bombs, no screams,no noise, no silence

everybody sang and danced together

that i grew up to be an artist

making money was neither important nor tough

that a person was not judged by what he wears or looks like

that losing weight was not difficult

that i had a time machine

and an audi (in matching colors)

and knew how to drive it
