If I'd Been God

Its Raskolnikov

The meddling fool,

Crafting such a charming poison pool,

Letting the fight between good and evil push and pull,

 

If I had been god,

I wouldn't have left off at hell fire,

I would've finished the cure,

If I had been god,

I wouldn't let all these souls tire,

I would let them live in a world so much more pure,

 

I wouldn't have sent all those brave souls off to die,

If I had been god, I wouldn't keep her away from him,

So much strife, I want to cry,

Why does life seem so dim?

Still these lovers try,

Yet they say we were all born in sin,

 

If I had been the deity that seems so perfect to some,

I would've been so much kinder,

Yeah, if I had been god, I wouldn't have made a wait for heaven,

I would've have created a delightful life,

And I'd send love as a reminder

of all the joy to be had,

But no, the world is cruel,

Life and love are so very sad,

It almost makes me mad

that they can claim a perfect creator of a perfect world when there still exist the chance for a broken heart, 

I would not take away any of my experiences now,

There are too many memories,

Too many stories,

But I would not have created so many rules to praise a god's glories,

 

And if I had been god,

I would not have ended the season so early,

After all the hours,

There aren't any flowers from all the showers,

The last time they march off the field,

The depression shoots at them like bullets,

Those band uniforms can't act as a shield,

The family they've built is taller and stronger than any tower.

 

Yeah, if I had been god,

If I had possessed such powers,

There would be so many more flowers,

But now all there is to be found are these powders,

These ashes,

Presidents so fascist,

Political clashes that lead to bloody human crashes,

 

Yes, there is love, 

That's what I fight for,

What I live for,

But there is still pain,

There's still heartbreak,

If I had been god, I would not have made so many mistakes,

So many destructive ways,

It's seems Utopian, but it pays,

        You mean it not easy for me being me, Fred? I'm far too big for my boots now. Bake me plenty of humble pie! lol.
