If I Could Change


If I could change

change anything at all

No matter how Big

No matter how small

 

I would change how we feel

How we feel about greed

it is just money, or power

But it is all that some need

 

Money can't buy us

buy us all that we want

it will leave us with nothing

and make our heart gaunt

 

Power can force

force others to our will

but when it runs out

we will be left with the bill

 

If we just saw it less

less money and power

the world would be at peace

in this the human hour
