I am the Wizard. This world is mine.
I speak. It's done. My realm is fine.
My wand, my tongue. My sword, my voice.

I say happy, or I say mad.
I say angry, or I say glad.

It's not graffiti after all.

Intent is my weapon - a sword from above.
Cruel hate, fear, and anger transmute into love.
This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.
Reborn -I'm a brand new girl or boy.
I choose. I speak. My will is done.
Come join. Come play. This can be fun.

and offer what I know as an option,
just as I would present a tray of appetizers for my guests.

if one looks good you are welcome to take it.

When I ask the question, it means waiting

It also means being prepared for my friend to say,
"No." They don't want to know.
