If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel censorships,
bad hair clips,
drugs causing highs and lows, and also
aggressively vapid TV shows.
If I were in charge of the world
there'd be enough green energy,
enough to eat for everyone, and
a job that was loved for each under the sun.
If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have grief.
You wouldn't have hate-bared teeth.
You wouldn't have apathy.
Or "A rise in grand larceny."
You wouldn't even have larceny.
If I were in charge of the world
a non-genetically altered vegetable
would be the only kind of vegetable.
All people could be safe and free.
And a person who sometimes forgot math
and sometimes forgot to make more coffee
would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.
You remind me a lot of the Amity faction in Divergent. This piece is very down-to-earth and warm. I especially like the part about a non-genetically altered vegetable, and the idea of canceling non-organic foods.
ReplyDeleteI will join your campaign against bad hair clips! : ) I love your description of "aggressively vapid" for TV shows...such a great word--vapid.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the idea of enough food in the world for everyone to eat, I agree. I also would agree with you about not having grief anymore. But also I think that without it, we wouldn't appreciate people and things as much as we should. Lastly, I think people feeling safe and free is a very nice idea as well. It is very easy to feel trapped in a p;ace or time or even a life. It is also easy to feel unsafe in situations or in the world in general. I would definitely vote for you for president :)
