Super Human

It took two days but I drank the oceans dry Spat out the salt creating deserts beneath a cloudless sky I ripped a mountain from the earth and deposited it on the moon Blew down a giant forest with one breath, not a single leaf remained in bloom Turned the sun down a notch or two and redirected its rays to lessen global warming Swept clouds to where rain was needed and sunshine to where rain was pouring Rerouted rivers far and wide so that arid lands might bloom Capped all menacing volcanoes on the Earth and shut down their noxious plumes Confiscated the wealth of the greedy and redistributed it to the starving masses Ripped the guns from the hands of a million sociopaths and kicked their useless asses Tracked down Greed, Envy, Hate and War and crushed them into dust Released Love and Compassion from their steel chains, forever eliminating mistrust If all this be a dream and when I awake I find I'm still merely mortal I will still be heartened by the fact that "hope still burns eternal"

I enjoyed your temporary, god-like powers, Charles. And, remember: Whatever man's mind imagines, may be possible somewhere/sometime in our seemingly infinite multiverse.... :-)
