The World Poem by Terri Brown

I want to own the world
I want to shape it, mold it
Make it my toy

I want to see and do everything
I want to touch, I want every feeling to be mine
I want to hold it in my hand and protect everything

I want enemies to be friends
I want hate to turn to love
I want hurt and sadness to go away

I want to banish regret and pain
I want to banish violence
I want embrace harmoney

If the world was mine I would shape it to my own ideals
An eye for an eye
There would be no hell here

If only I could own the world
If only I could make it so
I would make it my toy
