If I could change the world with a poem,

If I could use this pencil to rebuild our home,

If I could use this paper as the world's foundation,

I would use these words to rewrite our behavior.

Something wrong with this poem?

<p>Wow! Beautiful poem. It really breaks down the human condition of mankind wanting to change something that has been hard to manage since the beginning in such a simply way. Keep writing on my friend.</p>
