Overnight They Wish Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They wish to take back this,
And take back that.
They wish to reverse decisions made,
That today bring them regret.

They wish conscious agonies,
Would vanish from their sight.
They approved the devastation...
But take no credit for the blight.

They wish the Sun,
Not to be shielded...
By clouds that keep them uptight.
And overnight they wish the Chinese,
Will forgive their debts!

Like a kite that easily slips from one's grip!
Hoping that claims of ownership,
Doesn't start a bloodbath to fight!
