Merely Human

The Creaking of the Conscience:

Merely Human

If I were a pen

I would keep writing

until there wasn't any point

If I were a map

I would understand the purpose

of choosing a direction

If I were a flag

I would wave solid white

completely unafrayed

I am merely human

I can only imagine

If I were the sky

I would shed many tears

for those who refuse to cry

If I were a light

I would dance in the North

and place mystery in my sky

If I were a storm

I would spin out to sea

where my wrath

would do no harm

I am merely human

I can only imagine
