How many stars did you wish upon?
I wished on millions, but
the magic's long gone and
who do we blame?
who's gods name do
we curse now?

On Wall street,
stars are 4 points down on the day
if Science had its way
they'd all crash and turn into
some
formulaic equation
easily explained in the classrooms where
they groom children for a future filled
with boredom and monotony and they wonder
why this dull old World is full of greediness
and gluttony.

I'm still wishing anyway so
bollix to the lot of them.
