If I Ruled the World

If I ruled the world, I would wave a magic wand. And make a wish for views that clash to soon be gone. For unity I would wish as in days bygone. Then, hunters and gatherers as one brought man’s spawn. When greed and power took control a new age dawned. Men of wealth walked the streets; ignored the vagabond. Lies were told; truths were lost; the common man was conned. To righteous ways and faith in God many did not respond. My magic wand surely would eliminate wraths. No psychopaths’ would fill the streets with hates’ bloodbaths. And fights for right would silence works of all warpaths. Chaos would stop as each man found and walked good paths. No human would debate with a heart full of hate. Poverty and greed would completely dissipate. Rebellion and rioting, wisdom would placate. Love would flow from every soul by will, not mandate. If I ruled the world, I would wave my magic wand. And make a wish to the great beyond; peace be dawned. Citizens around the world to good would respond. And all of Earth's humanity would feel love’s bond. Written 2/25/2016 for Silent One’s Poetry Contest: Rule the World
