Poetry Slam Challenge 8: If I Ruled the World - We'd all be fucked

in #art8 years ago

If I ruled the world

I'd probably fuck everything up in one day

Maybe a week or two, or maybe we'd last a month

I would be idealistic, and opinionated, but probably absolutely useless

If I ruled the world

There'd be anarchy

I'd be well meaning, but most definitely ineffective

The hot air I expel would suffocate millions, and you would hate my stinking guts

If I ruled the world

You wouldn't be better off

You wouldn't be happy

You wouldn't be free

Or...perhaps you'd be no worse off than you are right now

If I ruled the world.

Its honest. I like it. Love the doodles as well.

I can't tell if that is sarcasm or not, but I'm going to say - THANK YOU.
😁
Yours was absolutely beautiful by the way. So lovely to read.

definitely, definitely not sarcasm! It's so honest, and a brutal criticism of power. And I'm reading on a small tablet, so I can't even begin to comment on how well the artwork supports the text. ["text", not "poem", because the whole post is the poem. ]

I'm just being overwhelmed by your "Why I pledged .." post. It will take some reading, and re-reading.

Wonderful is inadequate... I guess a poem in response is the only way, but that will take time. I'm now off to work through your other posts.

That's an epic read, but definitely my proudest work.

It's an epic story. Like one of the commenters, I found it powerfully emotional. Thank you ...

In that case please dont rule the world! lol
