If I...
If I should be the happiest man alive,
I would be the drone, who left the hive.
If I should be the richest man to live,
I would be the golden honey they give.
If I should be the eagerest of the land,
I would give everyone a helping hand.
If I should be the best one of them all,
I would watch everyone else’s fall.
If I were the most miserable man alive,
I wouldn’t flee; I’d go back to the hive.
If I were the poorest man to live,
I wouldn’t be the plague they give.
If I should be the disabled of the land,
I wouldn’t have any legs but one hand.
If I should be the worst one of them all,
I would watch the ignorant die and fall.
