I Wish Things Would Have Been Different

I wish things would have been different.
Seconds have been minutes.
Minutes have been hours.
Hours have been days.
Days have been months.
Months have been years.

I wish thing would have been different.
Noises have been music.
Rants have been flatteries.
Shouts have been whispers.
Grunts have been laughter.
Insults have been praises.

I wish thing would have been different.
Doubts have been trusting.
Voids have been fullness.
Problems have been thrills.
Quarrels have been fun.
Discords have been conformities.

I wish things would have been different.
Feelings have been expressed.
Individualities have been enjoyed.
Talents have been honed.
Greatness have been attained.
Unity has been restored.

But things turned differently.
Hatred altered kindness.
Familiarity bred animosity.
Harmony turned cacophony.
Chaos subdued serenity.
Egoism, narcissism reigned incessantly.
