To Be God For a Day

To be God for a day Wow – what an honor it would be Changing the course nature By creating love and harmony Cast miracles Excluding all natural disasters in life I’d heal chronic diseases Diminish violence - by helping us think nice Perhaps I’d start with religions The true devil in disguise I’d bring us all together By ending all ancient cultish tribes Humanity – My word would be the scientific proof I’d imbue a helping hand So reciprocity wouldn’t have an agenda – it would be the golden truth The pious – the self-righteous I’ll forgive all them all just the same They worshiped the Gods of their fathers Creating most of the worlds pain My son I’d send him to the world to give good advice He’d spread peace, love, and joy Without paying a sacrificial price Me? No collections, statues, or churches with gold pews I’d do my job Then my job would be through Oh what an honor To be God for a day Bringing all of humanity together Now it’s a beautiful day
