If I Were

If I were a flea

Sitting in a corner

Of your house at night,

What would I see?

Would I see dark?

Or, would I see light?

What changes would I

Sense in light or darkness?

If I were a frog 

Sitting on your 

window sill at night,

What would I hear?

A mating call to someone 

Other than your spouse?

Or, complaints cause someone’s 

Getting too close to the truth?

If I were a mouse

Hiding underneath 

Your bed at night,

What would I smell?

Would I smell a rat –

A traitor, turncoat,

One who continually betrays

Another’s trust?

If I were God

I would see everything,

Hear everything,

Smell everything.

So, don’t be fooled!

Those who hate the light,

And who embrace the darkness,

Stand condemned already.
