If I could change the world,
It’s guaranteed that everyone’s voice will be heard.
Over the hustle and bustle I’ll guide the meek,
As we’re all unique, that’s what I aspire for others to seek.
When I was young, I blended in with the shadows,
Afraid to step into the light like I’d be faced with gallows.
But I learnt later in life that we must all eventually take a leap,
Whether it be shallow or deep or perhaps even steep.
As we’re all just human and nothing more,
So, what’s the point in living if life’s a never ending bore?
Would living the way we do feel worth it in the very end?
How many holes will be ripped and not mend?
A lot, most likely,
You’ll be sitting in a rocking chair alone in your mid nineties, pondering:
“Why aren’t I happy?
What did I do to become so unhappy?”
Well, let me tell you why,
Life flashed in front of your eyes,
And before you knew it, surprise surprise!
Everything crumbled like a feeble sandcastle around you,
Leaving you to feel nothing except a longing sense of blue.
So, if I could change the world,
We would all exceed the standards hurled.
Life would be an adventure almost every day,
And we wouldn’t reside in some low-budget play.
All the holes would be mended, finally
