Question

My writer's club topic asked What one thing would you change for the good of the world if you could be God for a day.
Perhaps you might try one also....
  
             What an empowering thought
              that I could play God for a day.
              With what single act could I remonstrate
             to make toxic things go away?
           
              Should I spin the world on the tip of my finger,
              or just its axis up end?
              Or with one mighty blow of my breath
              return to Genesis again?

My how the ego expandeth
              with the dalliance of playing God;
              but I will choose something simpler,
              I shall purify the sod!

I shall destroy Monsanto-
              Oh what a devilish group-
              They've criss crossed animal with vegetable
               Rat genes in tomato soup!

They've threatened farmers to buy their seed
               with tampered genetic codes-
               you won't have weeds in your garden,
               but your corn will taste like toads!

This chemical plant made RoundUp
                and dioxin in the Vietnam war'
               Their Agent Orange killed the land-
               later veterans by the score.

It rotted the brains of fine young men
               and brittled each war weary bone;
               So I shall maketh them disappear
               to some realm in the twilight zone.

Their cancerous crops will be stricken from earth
                and again you'll consume Real food,
                Many thanks for this opportunity
                to go to bat for the common good.

Very powerful and thought provoking collection of events
put into poetic speak....bravo milady.

If we could not all here on YAP be kinder to one another, 
quit the f-ing games, multiple accounts, etc and get back
to the basics of writing and reading/answering poems, and
may, just maybe, meeting a friend along the way, oh what
a better place this could be.  Or do we continue to make
it a death trap for newbies coming in.?

Nice gem, Gem. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Wow, if I could go from Hobo to God, I would make myself a nice cushioned bench and get myself a bottle of La Tache '42 then have a chef prepare some BBQ chicken quarters. After that I would turn it back over to You.
Thank You so much for the daydream!

An interesting write here Tina, you've got my brain ticking over trying to think what I would do if I had the power. This one is close to my heart though, because I believe that food should be as natural as possible and it has always bothered me the amount of chemicals used in its production. We also grow our own fruit and veg. Many more we know are following suit.

Okay...you get my vote to be God for a day
but make absolutely  that the T & C`s ensure there`ll be
NO  reverting to the previous
poisonous crop the next day or later, Okay?
Have a Clause re  your re-instatement as God for a WEEK in the 
event of them renaging on the T & C`s...(would they...? ha)

If I were God I wold throw myself
into the Singularity
and after the Bang
my bits would form double-helix strands
attach to planets
catch rides on comets
be stuck to stars 
AND GO SUPERNOVA
i am ALIVE IN HUMANOID HEARTS
I AM Alpha and Omega

The beginning is the end

A Gem of a poem for sure T.

I'll share this to begin.

When there is nothing left of us
but dust and the stain
of crumbling, iron rust
would God consider and trust
that to begin again
is worth the fuss?

Yesu Ben · Answer

i enjoyed that thought too but i guess i wouldn't change a thing for everything, including pain and those things we call evil, is happening for a reason and that reason is the birthing of God in every little atom that floats in this universe.
