The world


If you had one wish, what would you do

would you let greed do away with you

would you allow rage to smite your enemys to

would you let sloth sieze your contribution to society's good

Is it so simple, that you believe you should

why not? Who cares about me

but what about the man under the tree

the man whom can't even move a limb

society did away with him, when he was at his brim

some food is what he most desires

what of the children that also desire

if i had one wish, I wouldn't end world hunger

if I had one wish, world peace would be a bummer

if I had one wish, I'd change every person

because hunger and peace can be brough by an individuals inclination

change the hearts and mind of the old and young alike

so they can know their left from their right

if I had one wish, I'd change the world
