If I Ruled the World

The first order the first decree, be nice to you and to me. The second order the second decree, stop the fighting and flee. The third order the third decree, helping others is the key. The forth order the forth decree, say thank you on your knee. The last order the last decree, let me live even if you do not agree. Date Written: 8/11/2020

A very important last line there! Too many people try to control everyone else. Well done.

Great job. Wouldn't it be horrible to have to rule the world? I wrote my poem thinking, oh my, there are just too many complexities involved!

Paula, you've got my vote! Where do I cast my ballot? ... Wonderful sentiments, and I especially like this kind of 'taking a knee!' Light and Joy, Gershon

If you run against Joe Biden and Donald Trump, you may only need a handful of votes! I betcha voters will be sick of both of those two dogs by late September. :) gw
