If the world would be like me

If the world would be like me
there will be no wars
Peace will be the first decree
overtly endorsed 
Love will be the law for good
Common understanding
Will prevail, just how it should
Larks will be ascending 
to the summer skies of blue
then descend with grace
to the garden grown by you
There will be no race
No oppressive vanity 
will make any sense
If the world would be like me
it would cut expense
But alas, the world we know
Looks a lot like them
Who are running this old show
with the newer lambs
Some offended gods can’t break
their favorite toy 
And a wiser god can’t make
world of peace and joy.
