You Can Put Cheese On Any Type Of Potato

We live in a world where you can put cheese on any type of potato

And no matter what, it will always taste good

We live in a world where you can eat cheese flavoured ice cream

I’m not sure how that will taste, but hey, it’s food!

We live in a world where absolute poverty is down worldwide

Everyone is living richer, and therefore healthier, lives

We live in a world where polio and smallpox no longer exist

Everyone is living healthier, and therefore richer, lives

We live in a world where the stars have names and stories to be heard

I read all their stories, I watch them every night

We live in a world where children tell stories, the few that they’ve heard

You tell them these stories, before you kiss them goodnight

We live in a world where I, a woman, have access to education, property, and freedom

That women in ages past did not have access to

We live in a world where you, a man, have freedoms of expression, sexuality, and emotion

That men in ages past felt ashamed for letting through

We live in a world where flowers of every shape and color bloom

I turn them into crowns, and place them in hair

We live in a world where floral dresses of every shape and colour are worn

You flaunt yours as it melts into your skin, lovely and bare

We live in a world where less children worldwide feel hunger

With food in their stomachs, they can play and wander

We live in a world where more children worldwide will learn

With books in their hands, they can read and wonder

We live in a world where the miracle of the internet exists

Where I may talk to you, from 700 miles away

We live in a world where the miracle of flying in planes exists

Now I may see you, despite living 700 miles away

We live in a world where I can feel scared and alone

But I just think as I pet my cat

“You can put cheese on any type of potato”

How wonderful and delicious is that?
