If I Was President
by Molimau Fatu
This country would actually
Cherish the diversity
It has instead of using it
Like an illusion of unity
Only to earn dollars
Building it not from the bloodshed
Of genocides and chains of slavery
But use the gift of each civilization
To develop the master plan
Of true unity and love from
The Most High to not think of
Greed and actually help out each other
As life is already difficult
To treat everyone as human beings
Regardless of skin color
Or how much you have
To have no more homeless
No more wars
No more Federal Reserve
No more FBI
No more CIA
No more secret societies planning agendas to kill the people of the world
No more private prisons
More schools that actually teach something that we use in real life
More music that uses words to inspire
To guide the youth
To become more aware
More consciously and creative
With joy to live
Life not enslaved by anything
But free knowing that
They won’t have to look over your shoulder
Yet, visioning a Samoan with his formal ie lavalava on
With his chocolate thick mocha wife,
Her dreads all out
Sundress with big glowing earrings
And a smile comforting as the sunset
Usos cooking outside with the rocks
Making bbq chicken and ribs
Peeling the skin from the taros
With the white house no longer being white
Now in living color
With melanin and Polynesian blood
Flowing rhythmically
With all cultures of the world
As the women display their beauty
By that walk of confidence
Hips moving side to side
Hair blowing through the breeze
The aroma so pleasant and strong
You become mesmerized
By the hospitality
By having a real person as president
Not some paid puppet
Of wealthy private bankers
Then…….
Damn
I wake up
And say
Only if I were president
