Magical Lamp and Me

'Twas a bright sunny morning,

Was back from some shopping,

With lots on mind,

When there started a blowing of the wind.  

         Suddenly saw something shining,

         With mud and a golden lining,

          'Twas a golden lamp,

          Who knows maybe a Magical one.

Picked it up for fun,

And again rubbed it just for fun,

'Lo behold there came out a Djinn,

Everything came to a standstill.

          He granted me three wishes, 

          Like Alladin and his wishes,

          Didn't know what to ask,

          But he yet again coaxed me to ask.

I asked for

Safety on the roads after dusk,

And in the nights,

He said,

"Your leaders will take care of it."

         I asked for,

         Relief from this pandemic,

         He said,

         "Your leaders will take care of it."

Yet again I asked for,

A better leader,

He said,

"You should have taken care of it."

         Saying this he vanished,

         Leaving me behind to think,

         Do we need Magic?

         Do we need a Djinn?

         To give us what we want,

         To give us a better today,

         And aim for a better tomorrow.

Let us do it ourselves,

Start by choosing better leaders,

To take us to better today,

And bring in a better tomorrow 

And not keep wishing for,

A Magical Lamp and its 3 wishes.
