I Do Not Own The World Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

Yes,
I know there is war
I know there are many people
dying in hunger
I know there is unequality
but I do not own the world!

I do not have the power
to stop the war
I do not have all the money
to buy food for the hungry
I do not have the power to pass the law
that can give equal rights to all humanity
I do not own the world!

If I own the world
I will make it the world of no war.

If I own the world
I will make it the world of no hunger.

If I own the world
I will make it the world of no unequality.

But I do not own the world...
I alone....do not own the world.
