If I Could Change the World

If i could change the world, I’d eradicate poverty, 
By doing away with the lower tax band heavy,
And implementing an increase in the others, 
By a very large amount for our richer brothers.  

I’d inaugurate a green tax, specifically to all, 
Just like income tax, but avoiding the poor wall, 
Straight to the home the bill would be sent, 
And state “For ecology,” for atmospheres bent. 

And I’d train all carers, no matter who they be, 
Home care, PAs or care assistants, many to see, 
And I’d reinforce in training that there exist some, 
Who were developmentally slow, who ask you run. 

I’d set absolute privacy laws for computers, tech, 
Apart from for criminals who’ve been at the peck, 
Who’s footprint would be traceable by a central body, 
And disclosable to the police who’d not be shoddy.
