Power Poem by Olusegun Akanbi

If men were gods
Then horses will fly
If men were gods
Then no one will die
To mold the destinies of many
With a wand of my hand
And turn a swarm of bees
To a matching band
To live a thousand years in the eyes of the mortals
And a second in the presence of his fellow immortals
I wish I could command the obedience of nature
And have the gift of seeing through the future
I wish I could command the winds to stop
And I say to Lazarus
Hey you get up
I wish I could save the lives of many children
And be the shining light of all my brethren
I wish I could hold the stars in my hands
And fly on a magic carpet
To distant lands
I wish the world belongs to me
So that I could foretell
What will be
In history
Like a Leprechaun
I hold a pot of gold
Which I shall give to that man who is bold
I wish my voice was as powerful
As thunder
And aeroplanes would clash as the sight of this wonder
I wish I could project my power
To the world with a spell
And turn incalcitrant nations
To a living hell
With fireballs and brim stones raining
From the heavens like cats and dogs
And insects jumping around the fields like toads and frogs
And if my power was meant for only good
And I vow not to abuse it
Understood
And angels would bow at my feet
Crushing my foes bit by bit
With laser beams
Blazing through my eyes
As I lift off the ground
To the evening skies
