A World Without Illiterates

Oh imagine what a world without illiterate be?
  Go deep into thinking and see what a disastrous word,
  Where no one is below another,
  What a world it would be!

A world where the saddle saddler awaits saddling,
  A lake that no longer abound with fish,
  What a world it would be,
  A world where abracadabra now exists.

Should we all abscond from its disaster,
  Or should we be absent-minded 
  A place where they are acolytic leaders,
  What a world it would be.

When it comes we must be called in the ad hoc meeting,
  For no one can sell,buy and use
  For a world without illiterates isn't one,
  More disastrous than mere bomb.

No one can boss his boss for that's buzzing,
  But every boss can re-boss his juniors
  For that's how a world with illiterate revolves
 Everyone needs them to survive
