Sometimes I wish the world was mine.
Then I’d be happy, or would I still cry?
Why should I? All people hurt one another.
But if I had no one, I’d be a lone.
But if I didn’t know better,
Would it really mater?
Can I answer myself? Can you answer me?
If we could, would it be a lie?
No one really knows whose right.
So that’s what I think.
When we’re wrong, are we really wrong?
Crazy at it may seem, this is all true.
So I say.
Though I really don’t know.
No one does, or does someone out there really do know.
Who knows, who cares

I'm just not big on question poems like this. I always think: I don't know. Why are you asking me?

I like the first line though. It seems to me if you develop that image -- if the world were yours -- and try to give us pictures, not simply declarations, of what that might entail, you might have a very strong poem.

Just an opinion,
Brad
