If I Were In Charge Of The World
If I were in charge of the world
I'd take all the leaders of major countries
Seat them all in one big room
With no weapons, and also have a civil talk
If I were in charge of the world
There'd be no wars,
No fighting, And
Just peace and joy
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't be filthy poor
You wouldn't be greedy rich
You wouldn't have to be scared...
Scared to go out at night.
I'd take all the leaders of major countries
Seat them all in one big room
With no weapons, and also have a civil talk
If I were in charge of the world
There'd be no wars,
No fighting, And
Just peace and joy
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't be filthy poor
You wouldn't be greedy rich
You wouldn't have to be scared...
Scared to go out at night.
The Ballad of Black Holes
They are always alone
My lonely black holes
They destroy everything in their path
My lonely black holes
They just want to make friends
My lonely black holes
No one knows the true beauty
He said hello to strangers and 'friends'
My lonely black holes
They left him alone
They turned their backs on him
My lonely black holes
They left him alone
If only he didn't hurt me
Of i would be there for him too...
My lonely black holes
They destroy everything in their path
My lonely black holes
They just want to make friends
My lonely black holes
No one knows the true beauty
He said hello to strangers and 'friends'
My lonely black holes
They left him alone
They turned their backs on him
My lonely black holes
They left him alone
If only he didn't hurt me
Of i would be there for him too...
Free Verse~
She came into this world
fifteen years ago
After four years of her life
Boom
Crash
Scream
Cries
It all turned corrupt
She lost my hearing She wished she lost my parents
They Rob, Drink, Steal, And they beat her
Until she spoke up
She came to a 'New World'
At least
It felt like it
This new home, Taught her
Sign, Speaking (again), Reading lips
Then Her past came crashing back into her life
Literally
Boom
Crash
Scream
Cries
The day she turned fifteen
Is the day they took her life away
