A Magical Day
With the magic wand in my hand
Smugly before God I will stand
and proclaim that if only for a day
I finally get to do things my way…
I’ll undo all so far He verily has done
and see that love reigns and hate gone!
I’ll shrink the enormity of the heavens,
In His name forbid to use any weapons,
Make the scorching desert a sanctuary
since wilderness doesn’t seem necessary.
I’ll rewind the time to the days of yore
and reset it to the simpler state as before,
Make man gentler and content to the core
For what I have seen I now can see no more.
But wait, I can wish this magic wand forever
for myself day after day; now isn’t that clever?
And then wish a treaty between God and Devil
and hope good and evil to each other be civil.
