If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world,
Money would have no value,
And the only thing that had one was the spirit held inside people’s hearts.
There would be no more electronics, accept for house phones to use in the case of emergencies.
There would be no more booty shorts or bikinis,
No more hypocrites and unjust ruling.
The prisons would receive less tax money so the prisoners will stop being treated like royalty,
And more money would be given to the people who work hard.

If I were in charge of the world,
The United States would split in two,
The Democratic side and the Republican side.

If I were in charge of the world,
I would have a cure for allergies and asthma,
Declare no school in June, July, and August,
And not be in charge of people’s private life (that’s private).

If I were in charge of the world,
I would dance in the rain without worrying about people judging me.
I would sing, even though I am not a good singer.
I would laugh because life needs to be enjoyed.

If I were in charge of the world,
It would probably end up being exactly how it is now.
The world could never unite under one roof,
The world could never come to peace.
That’s just the way we are as humans.

If I were in charge of the world,
I would be as kind and as generous.
Though I cannot change the world,

But I can make a difference by taking just one single step.

  1. You are wise to acknowledge that no matter how we "change" many things tend to stay the same...but it's still worth being "as kind and as generous."
