The Wish

Look deep down inside yourself,
look deep into your thoughts.
There you'll find an explanation
of all that you have wrought.

All your life, you dreamed of this moment,
standing atop all the rubble.
You change your mind
in the blink of an eye,
but it is too late
to save the dead sky.

You try to end all the pain,
but your devices don't work.
Malfunctioning and insane,
they obliterate everything.

You take a look around,
and realize what you have done.
Everyone has died, the Earth has fried,
and you'll be eaten by the sun.

But then you see a shooting star,
and you make a wish,
a wish with all your heart.
You close your eyes and then you open them,
and the world is alright once again.
