If I Had The Ability By Aristide Ndahayo (Official Written Poem/Slam) Poem by Aristide NDAHAYO

If I had the ability!

If I were a someone who controls things but I am not God. Maybe I have power at least once, I would fight with that serpent that deceived Eve.
I will kill it and it will be the only creature that will die in
history. I would be the guardian of the fruit that God forbade these two, I wouldn't allow anyone to eat it.
Then Adam and Eve live in paradise. What other reason would cause mankind to be evil?

Years would pass, and I would teach love Cain, Adam's firstborn.
If he had love, He would not have thought of killing his brother Abel… That's why we're bad!

If I had the ability,
I wouldn't allow Humanity to think of fighting. I would go to live in Mesopotamia in 2700 BC, I would make a peace between Sumer and Elam and they would forget to fight, because they were the first to go to war! They made the World see that if you want peace you use war. Hmm!

I wouldn't allow Sargon of Akkad to create an army for the first time in history of Humankind.
I would approach him and say 'What I want is for the people of the world to feel like brothers. Never form an army, but go tell the Akkadian Empire that you're all descended from the creator'
Tupac Shakur said 'They got money for war, but can't feed the poor'
That's why if I had the power or ability, I wouldn't allow humankind to go to war and form an army!
Instead, strengthen your love for each other. Love one another as God loved you!

If I had the ability!
I would combine all 35 biblical authors, and 15 who wrote the Quran, I would bring them the honest judges, and they will tell us who is telling the truth, because maybe one of them is a liar!
I'm still asking myself who to trust?

Coz the Pastor said 'Jesus be praised! ' and Imam said 'Muhammad Peace be upon him'
If I had the power, I would make future generations know the truth about beliefs, and there would never be any religious heresy.

Then why Atheist and Buddhist increasing in number every day? They don't believe in Christ or Islam! But we all believe that we're true in our beliefs and that there is a life after this life! - Who told us that? These are stories told us by people who are still alive or we say that we are told by God or Gods let me
say that! Because they were one of us who didn't trust! so If I had the ability, I would make people have One Religion, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism… that's all! Or One breath!

If I had the ability!
I would do anything to make Adolphe and Paula's love impossible, because that love is what made Hitler
born, and killed more than 16 million victims. (Sixteen Million victims) I wouldn't allow dictators like Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Saddam Hussein and others to come to power.

I would stop the Mesopotamians from using shekels, even Caesar took his own far away! I would rob the humanity of the intelligence to create money, because without money people would all be the same. No rich, no poor! Oh! Did you ever think that paradise?

If I had the ability!
I wouldn't allow inequality between whites and blacks!
No racism, no slavery and no colonialism! And then all people will be the same! Like Martin Luther ‘I have a dream'
I hope that one day, everything will be fine again. Our World will be beautiful again. Dear Lord, stay with us, Be with us… I'm sure that one day, you'll be happy again. We will be beautiful in your eyes again.

Above all, If I had the ability like you Dear God, I wouldn't have accepted the existence of death. I would bring back all our late friends, our parents, our brothers and sisters and our favorite artists…

Those are my thoughts as a human being, forgive me dear Lord!
I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted!
