The Wand

I found a magic wand,
I do not know what
Powers it yeilds.
Shall I try to wisk
The troubles of the
World and banish them
So they shall never
Plex the world again?
Hunger,war, hatred, famine.
And all of humanities strife;
Wiped from our memories;
As a teacher cleans a
Blackboard with a swipe
Of a damp cloth?

I have found a magic wand that
Lies before me; Teasing
Me ,taughting me,
Tempting with the powers
It provides.
What do I do?
Be selfish, and
Have it grant me all wishes
I have ever desired?
Material things THAT I
Think would complete my life?
Or change the people
That causes discomfort
To my friends and myself?

Suddenly, as quickly
as a panther's srike,
My mind is cleared.
Do I have the right
To change someone
For my personnel gain?
To alter someone
I think is wrong?

I found a magic wand.
I know not what powers it yielded.
It releases a heavenly scent,
As the fire consumes it.
