A poem done in my Creative Writing class based off of another poem entitled the same.
If I were in charge of the world
There would be no feeling
A shadow that eclipsed the sun
Billions left in the dark
If I were in charge of the world
The strongest voice would dominate
The one with the power would stand forth
And possess all means to annihilate all that is known
If I were in charge of the world
The older days would cease to exist
A memory of days long gone
A wish on the lips of a child
If I were in charge of the world
The media would rule the minds
Swaying the elderly
Molding the youth
If I were in charge of the world
There would be no unity
A world removed from itself
Trapped in perpetual isolationism
If I were in charge of the world
The aches and sufferings of the average would go overlooked
A child’s pain disregarded for carelessness
A sign of emotion considered weakness
If I were in charge of the world
Those people would fade away
Gone away into the night without a voice
Billions of lives erased
If I were in charge of the world
The emotions remaining, if desired
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world
