If I Were ~ Part 2

A poem about man and his lack of respect for our Earth

If I were a bird

soaring high up in the sky

I would watch the world beneath

see the people and their lies

If I were a whale

wandering seas and oceans deep

I would hide beneath the waves

for my safety I must keep

If I were a lion

roaming through my vast kingdom

I would cower at their guns

until the hunters were all gone

If I were a man

with the world beneath my feet

I would rape it for myself

it is mine for me to keep
