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"
