wishful thinking
When you wish upon a date
If there are candles on a cake
What you wish must not be spoken
Or else it won't come true
So the superstition says
As if keeping silent matters
As if asking can alter outcomes
As if anyone's prayers can cure cancer
The power of positive thinking
Does influence what happens
If only like the placebo effect
Improving how you feel and act
If I get only one wish each year
That is a good possibility
There's no sense in expressing
The proverbial wish for world peace
I hate the capitalist system
And hope to see it replaced
With socialism based on science
Though I probably won't live that long
My ask is purely personal
To wish for another year here
In good health with you doing well
Along with our friends and family
