For You: Genie

"Your wish is my command,

Master of the Lamp."

"You can only have three wishes,
Yet you cannot wish for love."

If you were to have a genie,
What will you wish for?

Something trivial won't be a wish,
Though, I might might sound selfish.

What I want is health and wealth,
The third will be for the genie to breathe.

If health is what I want, will that selfish wish be forgiven?
For I could barely be productive with the body I've been given.

If wealth is what I want, will I be seen as greedy?
For all I've lived is within the economy's poverty.

So, genie of the lamp,
The last wish is for your heart to pump.

Those two, selfish wishes were enough,
It'll make me have joyous laugh.
