If I Could Change the World

Bugs, spiders and an insect-free world,
Dangerous animals were gone,
Snakes disappeared,
Crocodiles, alligators, and sharks,
No longer exist,
Children could swim happy and free,
Nothing was alive that could hurt people,
Viruses colds and flu evaporated,
Sickness illness departed,
People never got the taste for animals,
Vegetables filled the earth,
Growing without planting,
Reseed like grass,
Nuts and berries ever abundant,
Pollination just happened,
A generous rich evergreen coverage,
Ready ripe succulently beautiful,
Juicy fruits sprouting everywhere,
Hanging from our houses, walls and gates,
The earth would germinate and shoot buds,
Without any help from humans,
Life would be so easy,
Even children could feed them selfs,
People would be slim and healthy,
The waters pure for drinking,
No additives or preservatives,
Or factory produced foods,
No evil could exist in people,
Our brains could only feel love.
If only I could change the world.
