macaulay akinbami - Hitler, if

If I grow up to be so great

I will fear no common man

I will try hard to buy long life

With the riches in my barn

I will seek to visit God

Even when the place is far



I will not walk on common street

Gold will always be the tiles

I will not sleep at night

To face darkness in the square

Ii will kill all the kings

To declare my kingdom

And stop rain from heaven

With a tap to the gods



Ii will deplete the sun

And burn men out from earth

I will war with the nations of the earth

And cause all men to bow to me



If I were so great

I will capture mortal men

Men’s kingdom, tyrant like

Me then to sit on the throne

To say Aha! Aha! !

Where is God?



But I am a man

Mortal man the only

Greatness I have is in my if

And this if die soon.
