Changing How They Think Poem by Janice M Pickett

If all the TV stations stopped showing violence
and bad news was not reported
then more positive energy would flow
and copycats would be unsupported

Because of the promotion of this
vicious behaviour
the rate of violence grows
causing more world problems
than anybody knows

I shall shut down Pubs and Pool halls
and replace them with controlled supervision
places where positive games and sport
are promoted with a positive vision

Schools shall start teaching from very young
the value of self worth
how man is his own magic genie
and can control his life on Earth

Wealth would be for all men
shared so no-one would die
children would have love and protection
and no reason at all to cry

Through proper education
and no wars of religion allowed
I would turn this world around
and even inside out

I am but a teacher
with the greatest headmaster of all
Overseeing all I do
and answering my call

I give my time in helping
I take in children in need
I spread the word as best I can
through poetic words they read

So if we start by positive thought
then others will find peace
by changing all the negative words
all negative actions would cease
