Their wish

 

Their wish

 

It is a heating world

It is a hating world

Yet so much love unremarked

By historians of the time

On the train

People help a lost man

Find his direction

In the hospital wards

The kind words of nurses

To the dying

Why are not these stories sung

Unless a wish to

Break humanity’s heart

But I will know

I will remember

All those kind souls

Who’ve helped me at my worst

I will never believe

That wish of theirs

That man is an irredeemable beast
