I Do Believe In Me

A poem of Understanding, written in 2006

If I were a god,

What first would I do?

Because, as it is,

That would make two.

 

We couldn’t have that,

So I’d have to make laws,

Otherwise people,

Would be drawing at straws.

 

Now if I had laws,

How would they be?

Well first, I would put,

Knowman before me!

 

Now as a God,

Raised to the top,

I’d become everyone’s,

Policeman or cop.

 

Now to hold the job down,

And still well abide,

My laws, to make easy,

Would all become wide.

 

I wouldn’t want people,

To copy me at all,

In fact, not even heaven,

Or hell where they fall.

 

And I know you will talk,

So do not cuss,

All that will bring,

Is much, much fuss.

 

Now lets see, I should make,

A day by the ocean,

So my children will have,

A place for devotion.

 

And in doing this thing,

For all of our brothers,

We need to teach honor,

To fathers and mothers.

 

No one should kill,

Or lie to a friend,

Or taking his things,

By stealing or lend.

 

But now I must look,

At a side not well known,

For if I were once human,

You’d sure hear me grown.

 

No I’ll be no leader,

Or any god I see,

And because of odd things,

I’ll just believe in me.
