They Can Never Be God! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Surely, they can never be God
Certainly, they cannot even play God
With their deadened hearts
And blackened minds
The earth would roll into sheets for their toilets
Human would be tooth picks after each meal
They would seize air and demand ransoms
Green culture would be made red
If they share nourishment, it will be in trickles
Their power will be tyrannical
And their peace will be detrimental
They can never be God!
