If I were to change the world
I'd cancel ignorance, prejudice,
stupidity, and also the lies we tell ourselves.
If I were in charge of the world
there'd be honesty, love, peace, and
genuine happiness.
If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have depression
you wouldn't have anxiety
you wouldn't have mass hysteria.
Or, "ignorance is bliss".
You wouldn't even have ignorance.
If I were in charge of the world
a hamburger would be a vegetable.
All people would accept each other
and a person who sometimes forgot how to be happy
and sometimes forgot to smile and laugh
would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.
You're hired! This loving, tolerant world is one I'd like to live in.
ReplyDeletePlease, I will elect you Madam President of the earth, if you can make the world this way. I love the issues that you bring up within this piece, especially the parts about mass hysteria, prejudice, ignorance, and lies to ourselves. Those are all serious problems that I wish we could all solve with a wave of the hand.
ReplyDeleteI think a hamburger should be a vegetable too. Also, People really should just accept each other instead of being stupid like "Oh, well you're different, so you're bad!" "Nuh-uh, you're different and you're bad!" News flash people, we're all different, and we're not all bad, only the people who ridicule others for their uniqueness are causing problems. Ugh. Our world.
I love your vision for the world Taylor, and I wish it comes true some day.
