Mercedes Hodge Poet Rhyme

If I Had A Billion Dollars

If I had a billion dollars, let me tell you what I would do
 I would buy a big enough rope, find Africa, throw it, and then tow it
 I would tell the Klu Klux Klan "see that ocean, see that land"
 I want you to row it and sow it let me beat you, let me rape you
 Let me hang you until your soul escapes you 
In the pages of history, I will erase you completely 
Then, I will take the credit by using faces of people who look like me
 I would put Saddam on my payroll and stop his expansions 
I would purchase all of the prisons and turn them into marvelous mansions
 I would bring back all of the kings
 I would bring back Martin and Elvis too
 I would resurrect Bruce Lee and pay him to teach me karate 
Japanese, Vietnamese, Siamese, and kung fu
 I would pay the sun to only shine over my house
 Neither I nor any of my people would ever go without
 I would buy back time and make it stop and go for me
 Then, I would go back in time and set my people free
 I could perform wonderous miracles if I had the money 
All of my aspirations explored, logically and methodically
 One other is above me 
He is the almighty 
Him and I are tight you see 
He lets no one spite me 
He lets no army fight me
 Only he is allowed to disagree with me 
It is he that has carried my load when my burdens were too heavy to bear
 It is he who hath taken my hand and led me through times in despair
 It is he that prepares a home for my soul
 It is he that is an exception to my payroll
 It is he that allowed me to have this fantasy 
It is he that brought me back to reality 
It is he that has nurtured my spirituality
 It is he who feeds me mentally and physically
 It is he that keeps me humble and true 
Because he knows If I had a billion dollars what I would do
