“if We were the president of the world”

by henry Gibson.

if We were the president of the world

We’d choose people smarter to run it. 

so our capital will be shared and abundant.

we learn to abolish lies, Learn to distinguish if it’s attracting flies.

we’d argue from noon until dawn, I promised the curtains would not be drawn.

And hear everybody’s view. 

even people we considered,

would poison that stew.

Not punish them, but know that with time, they’ll learn to acknowledge their part in this crime.

With determination and resilience

 we could heal the world, 

my fellow earthlings,. 

we’d promise you this 

that

if We were president of the world

and the world was bold

We’d  write this in scriptures, 

so it would be foretold!

if you approved this message,

How wonderful the world would be, 

If we lived without mediocrity!.

“Let’s exist with the earth”!

Q radio voice: “Hey folks, get on the ground level of the creation of the song. 

listener “wow” how do I do that Mr. Radio announcer sir”?

this is the first draft of a song mr. Weissman is working on. If you have suggestions on how to help it rhyme better. Send your ideas out”

Oh and in the tradition of soupy sales, children remember that loose change in your parents drawers. 

Leave it there! Unless they have $100s,  a stack of them, then donate it!

End of”radio Transmission. You can take the tinfoil out of your mouth.

Radio version

I was getting onto the F train, I veered into The train that was waiting at the station, but a young gentleman that thought I was being rude, punch me in the jaw.

I fell on the ground and stated out loud at him “you know you just punched a disabled man”!

He walked on as if nothing happened, nobody helped me.

I got up and did my gig with the Brooklyners! I was definitely emotionally shaken, and tried to figure out why this young man took his aggressions out on me!

I still have no answers, other then I’m glad I did not get up and escalate the situation!

Instead, I wrote this song to heal myself!
