How Would It Be

my wonders wonder how would it be if God had made me an insect a flea how short of life would life be and all of God's creatures i'd fear and flee so small and fragile not easy to see crushed by everything but me my wonders wonder how would it be if God made me into a bee i'd rally with my brother bee's gather pollen from plants and trees build a fortress for a queen work like the devil to keep it clean if any should bother our domain where it is i'll give them my stinger and no longer live such is the life for us and he whom god decides to make a bee my wonders wonder how would it be if God decided an eagle i'd be noble, honored, swift and sleek flying in the air for food i seek secretly fishing with my eye rarely is seen my deadly dive I AM the symble for liberty and pride i'll mate only once and then i'll die my wonders wonder how would it be if God had made me into a tree standing tall above it all save the mountians standing tall in it's season making leaves protecting both birds ans bee's reaching high into the sky growing wider than all living creatures bearing fruit to feed the nations eating the sun's rays before the hit they ground my shade a cool shelter for everything around my wonders wonder how it would be if God decided a peacock i'll be i'd strut and wear my tail so proud my feathers match with any croud my eye's and beak they match so well the prettiest of birds it is known so well my feathers are emaculate and my shape is so swell i take great pleasure in showing off my tail my wonders wonder why it came to be God made me a human being so different and diverse are each of us some of us praise , some of us curse yet we struggle to believe in God above one they think is evil and the other made of love to us he gave intelect with a capasicity to feel complicated emotions that shatter and kill but with this comes motivation to create and build an internal competition to be better and better still some men beg some men borrow and some men commit fraud and most of them presumably forgot about their god but in this world of wonder where wonders never cease there is a visible God watching man and beast
