If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel Fox News,
Lonely Friday nights, persuasive essays and also
cauliflower.

If I were in charge of the world
there'd be a lot more feminism,
free shipping, mixtapes, and 
an unlimited supply of Earl Grey Tea.

If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have to change who you were to fit in.
You wouldn't have sadness.
You wouldn't have destructive criticism.
Or "You could have done better."
You wouldn't
even have a reason to doubt yourself.

If I were in charge of the world
a cup of black coffee would be a vegetable.
All songs would probably be acoustic
and a person who sometimes forgot that their best is always good enough 
and sometimes forgot to smile
would still be allowed to be 
in charge of the world.
