They wanted to be wise,
So we started reading books
They wanted to dance,
So we bought Michael Jackson shoes
They wanted power over literature,
So we wrote poetry
They wanted to be smart,
So we downloaded chess on our phones
They wanted to be open minded,
So our group of friends consisted of people from all around the world
They wanted warmth in their heart,
So we looked for love
They wanted to experience wonder,
So at the wake of moon, we creep at the stars
They wanted revelations to the mysteries of existence,
So we read verses, and paid attention in physics class
They wanted to touch the sky,
So we bounce off of our beds, reaching, hopefully, pass roofs
They wanted to travel the world,
So we fell asleep and dreamt.
