If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world,

I’d cancel wake up calls,

Disrespect,

Cliff Hangers, and also

Unanswered questions.

If I were in charge of the world,

There’d be calorie-free days,

Unlimited-laughter, and

Someone for everyone.

If I were in charge of the world,

You wouldn’t have fat,

You wouldn’t have skinny,

You wouldn’t have ugly,

Or plain.

You wouldn’t even have people judge based on their looks at all.

If I were in charge of the world,

A beautiful soul would be a super model.

Love never would be unrequited.

And a person who sometimes

Got cranky,

And sometimes forgot to

Not speak frankly,

Would still be allowed to be

In charge of the world.
