wishing upon a falling star
we share an appetite for more
whatever it is give us more
more death & destruction
more peace & prosperity
whatever it is give us more
more legal marijuana
more automatic rifles
more hatred & violence
up & down the boulevard
gives us more hide & go seek
more capture the flag
more taking of hostages
brokering them to the highest bidder
whatever it is we want more of it
more unconditional love
more full moons colored orangish-red
more stars falling from the sky
so that our wishes may never die
