A world ruled by my hand is a world worth knowing, where the strong thrive, and the weak survive. Where people wouldn't be held back by those who would chain them down, for the sake of offending others. The artist could paint whatever he wishes, The scientist could invent the newest vaccine, and the laborer could make a honest day's work, without fear of the highwayman bleeding him dry. No more regulations or restrictions, mine would be a world without limitations, Anyone who didn't match up wouldn't be bought or sold, simple as that. And if you didn't like being outshone, well, just build a better mousetrap. You might criticize my reign as too lax, but people can govern themselves more often than not, and don't need some dark-suits to tell them how to act. The only power I'd really give myself is the ability to enforce the rules, for while little government is better than big, nothing at all is just chaos and anarchy, and that's not a world I'd look over. Would I let it corrupt me, though? It's hard to really say, but I've been always a man of noble-mind, but of course, it could rush to my head like a shot of blood, but you can believe I'd do my best to be upright and honest. To do my part and use my strength, to take this world and rule it all, for the better, for the best.

If I Ruled the World
A world ruled by my hand is a world worth knowing, where the strong thrive, and the weak survive. Where people wouldn't be held back by those who would chain them down, for the sake of offending others.

No more regulations or restrictions, mine would be a world without limitations, Anyone who didn't match up wouldn't be bought or sold, simple as that. And if you didn't like being outshone, well, just build a better mousetrap.
