Good Girl

If I wanted, I could destroy them
But I’m a good girl
I could create and destroy and do as you condemn 
But like I said I’m a good girl
 
I could stalk them, circling above their head like a vulture
Become their enemy high in the sky
I could destroy their world, their life, their culture
And they would never know why
 
I could drop this kindness like a red-hot poker down their back
they have never prepared for my darkness
Because, up till now, cruelty was something they could say I lack
they have become dependent on my kindness
 
So never forget to be grateful
That am a good girl, not hateful
