I wish...

The world shouldn't be perfect

And that is that

And I wish people

Would understand that.

When people wish for things.

From a genie in a hat

They wish for no evil

Or at least they say that

But not that I'm against

World peace and equality

But when people say that

Their morals are wobbly

Because if the world was perfect

And equal and sappy

No one would be sad

So no one would be happy

Because without sadness

Greed, list and tears 

No one would know the difference

Between excitement and fears

And as for equality

There's no confusion there 

Some people need special treatment

Or they'll grow to disrepair

So if we were all treated equally

Like many people think we should

The dying and disabled 

Would die right where they stood

So my one wish

And I won't say it twice

Is for people to be practical

Not sappy and nice

And understand

That perfection's out of reach

And the world would be worse off

If they practiced what they preach
