“If I Were in Charge of the World...
If I were in charge of the world,
I’d cancel Child Labor,
Overpopulation,
Wars, and also
Pollution.
If I were in charge of the world,
There’d be no more governmental problems,
Cheap Labor, and
World Hunger.
If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn’t have Racism.
You wouldn’t have Y2K problems.
You wouldn’t have money problems.
Or ‘Be careful when you go somewhere.’
You wouldn’t even have Terrorism.
If I were in charge of the world,
A disease like Tuberculosis would be able to be cured.
There would be no Teenage Pregnancy.
All bad people would be banished,
And only people who were nice and caring,
Would be allowed to be In charge of the world.”
— Erin, Cadette Girl Scout,
Troop #3918, Pleasanton, CA
