Wishful

My heart aches for them,
humanity’s freedom call
a whisper away.

But wishing will not
make it so; a decision
is required now.

Humanity’s mind
captured by a thought form
of a world of slaves.

Do they not realize
it’s simply a decision?
When will they wake up?

Leaving me wishful
that deceit will be unmasked,
so it can all change.
