If I Were

If I were a kente kite I’d hang u by your toes And we’d delight in flight Of poetic purple prose We would drop lines So electric and so divine Emerald eclectic electric shine Lighting up the darkest minds If I were a holy book I’d say all the right words Anyone who takes a look Would feel seen and heard No need for virgin vanity We all make a pile of dust Sealed by indigo insanity Revealed by true blue trust If I were a catchy turquoise tune I’d be your favorite song And like fragrant flower you bloom As the world sniffs and sings along But only am I a country girl With tears, fears, smiles and denials Yet my pen has but to twirl To rock the planet a while
