If Love Ruled

by Michael D Nalley   Mar 19, 2010


If I ruled the world for a year
The buck would just have to stop here
I would be open to the power of suggestion
God would be the answer, not the question
Sure I would be tempted by my greed
Yet after my reign I could be in need
Of what I have not always desired the most
The power of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
The earth would probably remain the same
With a new person on which to cast blame
But if love ruled, the rule would be golden
In peace we could live forever beholden

    Interesting piece. most people think that if they were in another's shoes they'd make a difference, however it's not another person we need it's different values and way of thinking. things like mutual love and care and being human (which seems to disappear these days) maybe then we'd all collectively rule a world and a world worth ruling at that.

    really enjoyed this. thank you!

    That would be the most greatest of all greatests; if love ruled. Then those who not know how to love can learn to love. I truly enjoyed this piece. God hasn't been the question for me. He has been the answer.
    The flow was great, the wording beautiful, and the message powerful. 5/5

    I definitely appreciate the message you were trying to send here, love is very important, and should be held above everything else. I am not really into the whole religious thing, my ideas of God aren't the same as they are to you I'm sure, but I must not be biased. This was a pretty good write.
