If I could have had the whole world listening,
I would not talk about the past,
Instead I’d talk about direction and the right path,
I’d talk about unity,
Promote non-violence,
And never about my sexuality,
I would not talk about religion,
Or politics,
Instead I’d talk about unanimous decisions,
And never about a one world government,
I would promote equal rights,
And to every individual one wish granted,
I would not take money from the poor,
Nor from the rich,
Instead I’d talk about freely giving,
And not about paying taxes,
I would not talk about the problems we face,
Instead I’d talk about a solution to each,
And when I look at population seven billion,
I won’t see a rainbow,
I’d see our race as a zebra,
For at the end of the day we are all human beings,
I would not talk about education,
Nor would I talk about social status,
For one day we must all become part of the past,
And so will our achievements,
Because we do not become known because of the present,
But because of our pasts;
No one sees us as what we will do but what have done,
And I’ll talk about the topics we shun,
Because they’re still there but we hide them in the dark,
And I won’t talk about my struggles,
Nor about yours,
Nor will I talk about our achievements,
But I’ll talk about what we all have done,
And where our actions have brought us,
But most foremost I won’t promote my sexuality,
I’d talk about equality.
