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 ?

'.The Taliban will build a church in Kabul ~ and invite the Pope and his wife to open it. Fast food will slow down . ' Could have chosen any one of your ideas.. all as pithy and appropriate!

Brilliant and satirical start to finish! If only one solution took place, would help .. but which? Aye, that's the rub! Thank you for making me laugh at the end of a busy day!

Awesome if only everyone thought like that. And pink is the best colour for everything, the sooner the world realizes this the better off we will all be :) An entertaining, thought provoking write.

Brilliant stuff. I read as I was chomping on my porridge. It is a sort of porridge for the mind. Very nourishing, healthy, refreshing thoughts.

You kill me. In the most rewarding way, of course.

Cool this just tells us that we must just try whatever be the consequences......The political changes mentioned in this poem is just equivalent to the overall change in humanity ...I think the whole poem covers all aspects of our modern life signifying that we need change in all aspects.....Thank you sir...
