If I ruled the world
I'd give it all back
For it is not in my nature to rule anything but my own spirit
And sometimes I cannot even manage to do that
If I ruled the world
There'd be a power vacuum created by my swift exit
Allowing for the human journey to be carried out, unfettered by a dictator, good or bad
A natural law where an experience can be uncoerced
If I ruled the world
You wouldn't have a philosopher king
You wouldn't have a force against you contorting your desires and corrupting your thoughts with preselected leadership
You wouldn't have a presence monitoring your soul
Or a false messiah looking down at your
existence
If I ruled the world, I wouldn't
Wow. Fabulous poem. Great writing and imagery. Will follow you.

I'm so excited to see you went ahead and put an entry in, this is some fine poetry! I know you're new, but you may want to take a look at tagging so this work can be properly seen by the community :)
"ifiruledtheworld" as a tag doesn't help get this out there much, and to have your poem show up in the poetryslamchallenge feed you want to tag it as such (don't worry this time, I'll make sure this entry doesn't get forgotten).
Just a few tips to encourage. Great work, glad to have you in the challenge !
