If The Creator Lived On Earth

9.1.2020

If the Creator lived on Earth,

Would he have a caste or class?

Would one hesitate to give him water,

Or spit when he did pass?

Would he be a he?

Or a she or a they?

Would she be subservient

Or choose to go her own way?

Would she be worshipped

As the goddess of learning?

Or chained at home,

Back bruised, and limbs burning?

Would they live a fulfilled life,

With love, a job and an identity?

Or grovel at the feet of the ignorant,

Living in disgrace and poverty?

If the Creator lived on Earth,

Would his eyes be open?

Would she face the world today,

And say what mustn’t be spoken?

Or would he/she or they,

Insult, abuse and condemn,

And like so many in power,

Ignore what doesn't affect them?
