If We Were ----
If we were Gods
and steer this place,
the sun and stars
and human race,
where would you go,
where would you hide,
could you numb
your pain inside?
Would you pray
to gods above,
get on your knees,
to profess your love?
Would you sleep like
human beings,
like common sheep
with heaven’s dreams?
Would you wake,
oh,
could you start,
to hear the prayers
of human hearts?
Would it be
so much to bear,
to hear the pleas
and start to care?
Could you stand,
that you’ve been wrong?
You acted weak,
when you were strong.
If we were Men,
and steer this place,
the sun and stars
and human race,
where would you go,
where would you hide?
could you numb
your pain inside?
Would you pray
to gods above,
get on your knees,
to profess your love?
Would you sleep like
human beings,
like common sheep
with heaven’s dreams?
Would you wake,
oh,
could you start,
to hear the prayers
of human hearts?
Would it be
so much to bear,
to hear the pleas
and start to care?
Could you stand,
that you’ve been wrong?
You acted weak,
when you were strong.
If we were Men,
what would you do,
what would you do
what would you do?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I didn't spend as much time on it as I likely should of, a mistake I make to often.
The concept of this came to me Like: Okay so the Big Guy doesn't seem to be running the ship. And if we or I were God or would the Big Guy himself sort of hide His or our head in the sand and say we weren't God to avoid taking responsibility for our own or my creation (like the current condition of man kind). Would he pray to gods (little g) and kind of forget who we were-- sort of cop out so to speak on his blunder here. Would he himself pray to some little g dude and dream of some heaven with out getting his building materials and start constructing a better world.
What I was trying to do in the first part with If we were God, was to sort of suck someone in to the contemplation of what the heck he would do if he was responsible for the creating of what is happening here on Earth.
Then with the second part Men with a capital M (of course we are men, little m) The significance of the bit M is to signify how small we consider ourselves especially when we pray to the gods (little g) who if he exists has in likely taken a long ass vacation from this sector of the universe.
So that kind of leaves to who-ever among us are big M's (Men) to toe the line. I guess I was trying to lead someone in to the possibility may be we Men with the balls or Women with the tits (so-to come up with something that signifies a women that can do something that creates an impact on society or mankind) may have some responsibility how this game comes out.
I guess bottom line if the poem takes that much explanation and if someone could even follow the logic of my explanation (which might be unlikely) then this poem isn't much of a success.
Hey I was just trying to have some Balls and sort of take on the big guy (little b).
Hope this helps.
