If I Were In Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel terrorism,
"productive" Mondays,
and also long waits at the E.R.

If I were in charge of the world,
there'd be more forests,
more time to sleep, and
kind people everywhere you go.

If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have bad connection.
You wouldn't have inequality.
You wouldn't have racism.
Or, "Study for your trig test!"
You wouldn't even have trig.

If I were in charge of the world,
a huge piece of honey cake
would be a vegetable.
All makeup would be free.
And a person who sometimes forgot
what they were doing,
and sometimes forgot 
to do their homework,
would still be allowed to be
in charge of the world.

  1. Some promising ideas here (I have never understood the "long waits at the E.R." when it's supposed to be an emergency!) and I would also like a world like yours without inequality and racism. I wonder what honey cake is...seems like something my son and husband would like!
