If I were in charge of the world
I'd remove heartache,
Regretted love,
Crashed bikes, and those hacker types.
If I were in charge of the world
The skies would be clear,
The stars visible, and
Travel not such an impossible goal.
If I were in charge of the world
Death would be a lie.
Love would be genuine.
Life would be truth.
And Hamlet "Not so mad, after all."
He never would have gone crazy.
If I were in charge of the world
Ophelia would never have drowned,
Families would never be torn apart,
People would know forgiveness,
Mercy would be standard,
Cruelty would be no more, if I were
In charge of the world.
I love your references to Hamlet and the proclamation that "mercy would be standard." I could live quite happily in your world...
ReplyDeleteHi, Amanda! I wish that you were in charge of the world! For one, I agree that travel should not be such a difficult goal to achieve, and there needs to be a dictator (preferably a kind dictator) who can make this easier for us. I also love how you said that you would remove heartache. This is such a strong and painful emotion, no matter what it is stemming from. It is possible, though, that without heartache, one might not be able to know what true love feels like. A person may need the pain of a failed love, or a love lost, to be able to fully understand what they want to make them truly happy. I am not saying that I would not want to feel heartache, because it would fantastic to not have to feel heartache again, as I am sure that I will. Heartache and love seem to go hand-in-hand, so I wonder what the world would be like without heartache.
ReplyDeleteMercy would be standard, and regretted love no more. You would build a wonderful world if you were in charge.
