If I Ruled the World
If i ruled the world ?
The thing that i would pray and wish
for first and foremost above all else
Is that i do not fall victim to the seduction and power of corruption
Because if this is the fate which i and those over whom i am to rule awaits
Then respectfully my answer to the question
is no comment i wish to plead the 5th amendment
As i would rather choose to be a subject
to be ruled over
Than stand a single chance however slight
that may be of becoming a dictator , sycophant
or tyrant
If i ruled the world ?
I would put the world to right's
As thing's couldn't get any worse
but potentially could get so much better
