If I were God

If I were God I'd go incognito on vacation to Lebanon ...
Or to Tehran,
In the features of a woman
I’d pull a few beards and kick some blessed asses,
then rekindle the flame
In Olympia.
I’d walk around topless in the streets of Riyadh
of Kabul, of Atlanta or of Islamabad
If I were God
I’d dress the Afghan women with Coco Chanel
the Taliban with Burkacharel.
If I were God
I’d ring a few bells,
distribute some cuffs
and some white condoms
in the halls of the Vatican.
But if I were God really
If I were God ...
I’d ordain my followers ill at ease
as French Secularists
Then I’d go and spend my holidays in some other place.
