Poem Title:
Poem
Sometimes I don't switch on TV, the radio stays dumb and finishing a newspaper can leave me feeling numb. What is it with this world of ours, where did it all go wrong? How could the higher-ups elect leave it like this so long? Should in the future by strange quirk just one man gets a voice and leader of the world is picked at random, not by choice and through my letterbox a card that says it will be me then here's my manifesto telling how my world will be........ From infant school to college , five to eighteen and above a daily lesson will be taught on what it means to love. Care, compassion, sympathy, respect, be generous be acted out from dawn to dusk, not just sit and discuss. The value of all earthy life, no man to lay a hand on and we put an end to children, horses, dogs and cats abandoned. Hoodies will be outlawed, no reason to hide one's face and gangstas from da hood will wear a onesie in it's place (the ones that look like Pandas or a Pokemon or cat) so no more threatening gestures, there, I've taken care of that. All military vehicles no longer will be green but paler shades of Lavender and pink so they'll be seen. The nuclear warheads from the planet's face I would expunge conventional weapons would now be tipped with pointy sponge. Barb wire fence and barricades would all be knocked down flat and entering each country would be on a welcome mat. The list of National Anthems under me would not last long I'd swop them all for 'Happy', that nice Pharrell Williams song. Monday as start of working week, I refuse to defend so I'd bolt it onto Sunday just to make a long weekend. To replenish the rainforests we all must plant a tree and litter pick the garbage from the vast Sargasso sea. Rewards for all these changes that I make around the world? Free beer to all the fellahs and Prosecco for the girls. The kids get sweets and chocolate but they must understand they're still in bed by seven, and they've got to wash their hands.
