I dont want to tidy my room!
there's hardly anything there thats mine
its a shared room you see, so why should i be the one stuck in there?
plus a hurricane of the-three-girls-under-the-age-ten has struck.
FOUR NIGHTS AND THREE DAYS STRAIGHT
so why should i tidy my room
where hardly any of the mess is mine?
plus there are better things to do
i've got to change the world, i've got to save it.
i cnt be stuck in my room,
when the world is going ballistic.
its not fair its not fair!
the duvet's there because the bed was most struck by the hurricane
i dont know why the jewellery's on the floor!
i was asleep the whole time!
plus i havent even been sleeping in that room, the hurricane chucked me out.
i keep saying to close the ironing board,
it makes more space and straight away gives a clean feel
but who listens who listens
as my word echoes away
clothes are cleans as long as they dont smell,
they'l be worn they'll be ironed anyway
so why bug me with the clothes
they're just clothes really they are!
now moving on deeper in this messapotomia.
i cnt be an explorer without an assistant!
why do i have to tackle the roots of messimia
on my own without equipment nor assistance.
im not an expert in this field,
prepare for the worst is all i can say
there will be things not be found that should have stayed
and things that should have gone that have been tucked away.
im just saying, im jus saying.
im not denying though,
that the idea that i should tidy my room
when really i should be saving the world
hasnt got anything to do with these disappearances.
i will equip myself, as best a crisis aid worker can
this isnt just the site of a hurricane aftermath
there are deeply rooted problems here. like politics and civil unrest, and chronic hunger and lack of clean water source.
hey look what ive done look what ive done!
Tis training i say tis training!
this room tidying cant be so bad!
if i associate everything to an issue the world has
maybe this room tidying might prove worthwhile!
i'll arm myself with plastic blags. and a special one for recyclable things,
because the environment, without it we're dead.
the library is lack of education
tidying it would be rewriting the syllabus
the hoarding can be politics and all that unnecessary social front.
recycling things that arent of no need and keeping souvenirs of good ol' days.
that's what i'll do, it'll be quite great
put all good things in a box tucked away
to be looked back on when the days are grey
the clothes, ah! the clothes
what can i say?
they lurk everywhere, they multiply i say!
time to wash the dirty laundry,
give away whats not needed to those that need it
equalise the balance a bit, you know what im saying?
things that are hardly used, hardly needed,
taking up precious front line space
leading to all sort of mess and unorganization,
when really what i need is efficiency-ation!
through all this i must remain
unbias, untainted by personal gain
objective and open minded
thinking of the greater good ahead.
its all great to be all hopeful word, all full of optimist, all happy and smiling,
making promises, of greater good ahead.
i'll try my best though im human, dont jump on me at my first slip up.
if you should be interested, i shall report my findings
when, unlike most big mouthed peeps, i get my hands stuck in.

Need to replace efficiency-ation eith resolition or determination. Thoughtvof that while cleaning.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Is your room fully clean now?
can the world ever be "fully clean"?
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
No, but can't your bedroom? One inch of the entire worlds space? It's the feeling when you're satisfied that you have done absolutely everything to tidy everything and there is nothing left for you to do. I've had that feeling with my room. My room is clean but it's not fully clean at the moment because i haven't shoved my bed to the other side of the room and vacuumed underneath it.
Ure such a grown up woman person. Dis u nt get my poem. My eoom is a condensced world. And as the world can never be truly clean. So cnt my bedroom
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Lol, but that makes you an ever more grown up woman!
I think i got the poem but obviously poems have different interpretations and the eyes i have today are not the eyes i had the day i read this which was yesterday or was it the day before? Whatever day it was anyway.
I felt like you're trying to save the world. Is that your new mission? It sounds like it. Thats what i got from you trying to clean your room. It makes sense in my head anyway. But can you begin to save the world and all its hurricanes by staying within the four corners of your bedroom?
In my world there is no such thing as the four corners of the world because my world is not square. Its round and sphere like.
that doesnt even make sense anymore to me...
I was just tidying my room!! *puts hands up*
kddding, i brought this upon myself. i liken changing the world to tidying my room. it made cleaning slightly more interesting. there wasnt anything abt staying within the confine ofmy room (no, i'd rather be out saving the world as the beginning of the poem says, but "mother" is a force NOT to be reckoned with.) sometimes when you wanna change the world, there are some variables you cant change and got to make do with.
saving the hurricanes? euh..i think they're pretty fine jsut the way they are. they dnt seem to need my help...

LtS, do you REALLY believe that you can change the world? Like really really? I don't think i've given it so much thought i'f im honest. I feel too small in this big world. I can change the world for some but not for this whole human race. If you do believe in yourself, then can you tell me what you're going to do so that i may beat you to it, please?
wouldnt that make me a fool?
its all about perspective i think, if you see yourself as small and the world as huge then it'll look daunting.
whenever i think about changing the world, i think about
the whole ayah being: For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah . Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron. (13:11)
I think that every change, however tiny, impacts the world. doesnt it? it all matters, its all meant to be and it all fits together in a much bigger picture that you get to glimpse at every once in a while and it blows your mind away.
plus, every human have a world of their own, when you touch the life of a single human, you've changed their world, you've changed a world. so technically, the more people you touch with your life...then..you're not changing the world. you're changing lots and lots of worlds.
whatever, to me, changing the world = not stepping on an ant, teaching someone how to read, inventing green energy. they all feel more or less equally important to me.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
I get it. I really get it now.
