 if i were God, 

i would put sea in land, 
gold liquid in blood veins, 
send rain with currency notes attached to droplets, 
transform all humans to aquatic fish, 
having a mermaid like disposition, 
living in all equality with bundles of salt, 
rebuke the sparse few, left on land, 
for their plethora of misdeeds, 
charging them with the highest treason, 
sweeping them away like piece of dirt, 
with cheap broomsticks of twined bamboo.
then there would be, 
no poverty, indiscreet trampling of deprived, 
no panic stricken, aggrieved, mutilated, 
no innocent assaulted, 
by powerhouses of wealth and illegitimate pride, 
no shivering in chilly winters, 
no dying of sun strokes, 
no scope for inflicted brutalism, 
no supply of hazardous narcotic, 
absolute prohibition of life ending liquor, 
manufactured in dilapidated breweries, 
complete harmony amongst all tribes in flesh, 
beheading sinful chapters of mutual racism, 
dulling the nerves of rampant blood shed, 
elimination of traumatized anecdotes, 
of premature death, 
through vehicular clashes, 
air, water and rail collisions, 
no mammoth crowds flocking for, 
oil, petrol, gas, essential fodder for survival, 
no palaces for some, 
and unbaked cow dung plaster huts for others, 
uprooting all kinds of glamour, 
reinforcing it with simplistic existence, 
no indecent portrayal of stalwarts, 
sacrificing personal lives, releasing us from jaws of captivity, 
no inflation, unauthorized storage of food grain, 
no urchins left like garbage, 
in clammy interiors of unkempt orphanages, 
i would evaporate every trace of crime, 
with complete equality nestling in all quarters, 
all this and a host to follow, 
as i wish and pray fervently, 
if only i were God.
