Given the Chance To Change the World

by Nicole M. - Gemini

If given the chance to change the world
This is what I'd do-
Not just a simple snap of my fingers
And poverty, violence, and racism
Disappear
That would be too easy
And it wouldn't be appreciated...
Besides
You could never get rid of everything bad
Or you would never realize the full potential
Of everything good.

Here's what I would do...
Place the bullies
In the shoes of the "odd-balls"
They seem to enjoy tormenting so well...
Shove those narrow minded ones
In the shoes on the ones
Who have the privelage of being judged...
Have those narcisistic sticks gain eighty pounds
And take away the politicians power
And make them everyday people...
Take the self-righteous and finger pointers
Hand them the choices, and let them see
How hard (or easy) the descions are made.
Maybe the way to make this world
Society - a better place
Is to lighten up
On the critizen and idealation
And load up
On the understanding.
