If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel homework,
Uncomfortable bras,
Crappy airplane food, and also,
Platform shoes.
If I were in charge of the world
There’d be no art assignments (unless in art class),
No college tuitions, and
Roller coaster lines would be non-existent.
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have hungry.
You wouldn’t have hurt.
You wouldn’t have curfews.
Or “Do your chores.”
You wouldn’t even have chores.
If I were in charge of the world
A Brookstone chocolate covered acai berry
would be a vegetable.
All judgment wouldn’t exist.
And a person who sometimes forgot to be nice.
And sometimes forgot to think twice,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.
