In Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world
fitness would be eating ice cream
guns would melt away
and global warming would be global just right.

If I were in charge of the world
old age would mean thirty year old bodies
young age would have more common sense
and middle age would eat more ice cream.

If I were in charge of the world
politicians would turn green if they lie
everyone would stop to enjoy beautiful moments
and digital devices would stop when overused.

If I were in charge of the world
Almond chocolate would be a fruit
A hug would last for twenty seconds
And a person who sometimes left the toilet seat up
Who liked to bike and spend time with his grandson
Who sometimes buys too many gadgets
Would still be in charge of the world.

Starting Thoughts: How would us being in charge of the world make it a different and better place? Can you place some humour into this form of poetry as well? What will make your version of this poem unique?
