What It Would Be Like To Live In A Palace Poem by Aldo Kraas

If I was a king I would love to be in a palace
I would have servants to do everything for me
I would have time to live my life
Without dishes to wash
Or floors to sweep.
I would be very rich indeed
But I don't know what would happen to the outside world
Because I would be out of touch with the outside world
Perhaps I wouldn't feel safe outside
People might not like me if I had a lot of money
While they went without.
I mean the poor people
The poor people don't have anything
And I would have everything
Also with my money I would be able to buy everything that I need
While the needy
Starved.
Perhaps I would rather
Not live in a palace.
