A Better World

pop poetry

China will be declared part of the Peoples Republic of Tibet ; Somalia will send

food parcels to the Swiss and the Mexicans will build a fence to prevent illegal

immigration from the United States.There will be a Queen in Saudia Arabia and

P***y Riot will be elected to the Duma. The Taliban will build a church in Kabul

and invite the Pope and his wife to open it. Fast food will slow down ; the Israelis

will paint their nuclear weapons gay pink and ship them to Iran , North Korea will

be renamed Happyville.A clown will be named President of the World Bank and

North Africa wll accept refugees from Europe.

Facebook will discover that friends are real people,my sons might understand that

my car needs petrol and my wife will stop buying shoes.

And if you thought that poetry can`t change anything, you are right.

But it`s worth a try, isn`t it ?

Author's Note

If pigs could fly!!!!!!!! No, I really enjoyed reading this piece, it made me chuckle, but I do think poems can have an effect ..... by reaching individuals, and then the greater consciousness!

[Pranav Malhotra]

Great write :)
I love the satire

[Joiedevivre]

haas this is great! comedic and serious and profound and a bit of a rant, all in one. Makes up for really good reading!

[Talal Hussain]

Hehe that is a great write...i hope your wishes come true :=)

[Lydia Shutter]

Very clever write here. When sons and daughters realize parents' cars need gasoline, though, well, it MIGHT be the end of the world as we know it! Loved the facebook line! lydi**
