If I had a trillion dollars

How easy would it be

To think of no-one else

Except for little me?

I could invade a planet

They say that Mars is fine

For humans to inhabit

And spend a little time.

First they’d build a castle

The slaves, I’d brought from Earth

And work their fingers to the bone

As that, is all they’re worth

With their little bit of energy

Which is, all that would remain

They could make some robots

Who’d, maintain, my new domain

Humans would be soon extinct

I’d ensure, that they were dead

Except for me, of course

And the demons in my head

A Universal king I’d be

A title I am taking

But, about the trillion dollars

Its, interest just keeps on making

What really is the point

Of having so much wealth?

Perhaps it could be shared

To, improve, global health

Maybe it could be spread

All across our precious globe

Until, self appointed kings

Would, reluctantly, dis-robe

I might, just be, dreaming

If I thought, they’d see reality

Then hand out all their money

To create, equality

If everyone was equal

And power and control had been erased

Possibly, benevolence and kindness

Could, somehow, become, saved

So lets eliminate the money

And survive with what we need

Instead of spreading hatred

Warmongering and greed.
