A Better World

A Better World

A Poem by Leslie Philibert
"

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 ?

Very compelling and interesting piece, well written with a strong, clear voice.

It is easy to read, the facts are presented clearly and concisely.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing interesting master piece.

:) Yes, why not? great read. It could be possible, all of these vission could be realistic in the future. The world is round and it keeps changing.

Yes it is worth a try even if poetry can't change the world but what it can do is leave behind how the world use to be for future generations if they can still read and write. I enjoyed this a lot.

And does the Pope s**t in the woods? That's right isn't it? No? oops.
You have been searching the multiverse again. Haven't you?

I love this. A very clever and well done write. Great job on this fantasy but who knows, something like this just might come to pass but we sure hope not! Very impressive job or rearranging the world!
