If I were God...
and I could actually be him
if not me, I don't see who else!
If I were God
I wouldn't allow people's sly tricks to get me
I wouldn't be an amateur either
I would always be there!
I would really be everywhere spying
or better yet, criticizing
exactly what people do
For example the petty burgeois
he's so annoying
he never does big sins,
he's never intensely sinful.
Besides, the poor guy, he's too miserable and too little
and even knowing that God is more accurate than a Swedish
he thinks that God does not count or does not see little mistakes.
That's why
If I were God
I would prefer the past century
If I were God
I'd regret the ancient rage
where people used to hate, and then to love
and where enemies were being killed!
But I am not yet
in the heavenly kingdom
I am too traped
in your ruins...
If I were God
I wouldn't be so stupid
to believe only in the heartbeats
or only in the tricks of reason.
If I were God
I would surely be very complex
and very detached
like You should be!
If I were God
I wouldn't have saved up,
I would have done a better man.
Yes, ok, I admit
it's wasn't that good,
and that's why, in order to preach what's right,
once in a while, I send someone down there
but then people love to interpret
and create even a bigger mess!
If I were God
I wouldn't have done the mistakes my son did
and about love and charity
I would have explained myself better.
Actually it's not at all normal
for an oridary mortal
in the name of bullshit like compassion or hunger in India,
to have so much love put aside
he doesn't even dream about
so that you feel like asking:
"After that, how does he manage to be such a bastard?"
If I were God
I wouldn't be so reduced like you people are
and If I were, for sure I'd die
for something important.
Unfortunately, the occasion
of dying nicely
doesn't always present itself
and even the most daring (courageous) adventurer
dies wherever it happens
and not even very convinced.
If I were God
I'd do what I please
Of course I wouldn't be permissive
I'd beat my son
I'd be severe and fair,
I'd curse over and over again the English
like I was asked
and if I had the chance
also the Africans and Asia
and then the Americans and the Russians
I'd beat the militancy
as well as the mysticism
and I'd slap
Voltaire's followers, the thiefs
the supid people and the bigots:
because God is violent!
And God's slaps
stick everybody to the wall!
But I am not yet
in the heavenly kingdom
I am too traped
in your ruins...
Till now, we've joked!
But in the end, one of us
sooner or later will catch the taste
and using God's excuse will bring out
eveything he thinks he should.
And you girl,
you tell me that it's not true
that the petty bourgeais
is only a little bastard,
[but] that he is a real delinquent
a rascal, a jerk in all the ways, a rotter
and that he even tried to rape his daughter!
I, like an invented God
like a fictitious God
I take courage
and I tell my opinion and say:
"Let's hope that your father
will be shot in his b u t t dear girl!"
That way, for the newspapers he will become
a brave father.
If I were God
I'd really curse the journalists
and especially all of them
who for sure are not good persons
and where you search, you always find good things.
Journalists, companions, you're too thirsty
and you don't know how to take advantage of the rights you have
you still have the freedom to think
but you don't do that
and in exchange you pretend to have the freedom to write
and to take ingenious and ingteresting pictures
of supportive presidents and of crying mothers.
And in this Italy full of dismay
how courageous you still are, you throw yourself
without trembling for one moment:
canibals, necrophils, De Amicis followers and artful people
and we'd actually say pleased (people).
You throw yourself in the human diaster
with the tase of the tear in close-up
Yes, ok, I admit
the diappearance of the paper sheets and of the press
maybe would be a crazy thing
but if I were God
facing so much [mental] deficiency
I certainly wouldn't have had the superstition of the democracy!
But I am not yet
in the heavenly kingdom
I am too traped
in your ruins...
If I were God
naturally, I'd shut up so many peoples' mouth
in the heavenly kingdom, I wouldn't want ministers
and political party people between the "bollocks"
because politics are disgusting
and does harm to the skin.
And all those who play this game
after all it's a game of power, it's repugnant and contagious
like leprosy and typhus
and all those who play this game
have certain faces (sides)
that makes you sick when you see them
no matter if they are greasy Christian Democrats
or old friends of the Conservatory Party
They were born really ugly
or at least they all end up like that.
If I were God,
from the top of my throne
I'd see that [being in] politics it's just an ordinary job
and I'd like to say, it sees to me Plato,
that politicians are less ans less philosophers
and more and more bastards!
it's a well-accomplished man
who without ever looking back, slides on the world
that slides on words
even when he doesn't seem to, or when he doesn't want to.
My radical comrade
I don't know who gave you the word "comrade"
but in the end it suits you
it's already disqualified anyway
radical comrade
rider of every tiger, sly man
you're actually moving very well in the middle of this big mess
and while on one side they shoot at random
and on the other the prisons get crowded
who gives a damn about the people!
My radical comrade
take charge of the civil rights
and of the stupidity that makes democracy
and set up a new referendum
this time for knowing
where do dogs have to piss!
My Socialist comrades
yes, you too, insinuating, artful and fat
Socialist comrades
with your thoughtless alliances
of the Right wing, the Left wing or of the middle
with your updated people
the new ones out and the old ones in
Socialist comrades, come out
because this is the year of the red carnation and of the rising suns
Come forward with the progress myth
and with your disgusting ambiguity!
Say thanks to the pervasive folly!
But I am not yet
in the heavenly kingdom
I am too traped
in your ruins...
If I were God
I would really not have any more patience
I would reinvent moral
and I would make the trumpets sing
for the Last Judgement.
You'll ask me why is it so partial
my very personal Last Judgement?
Why don't my trumpets sing
for the assassinations, for the rapes
for the young drug addicts and for the bombs?
Because the other face of the medal isn't gone yet.
Being God, it's not that I don't want these things
being God, I can't say for sure that they can't be judged
or even, like those who are afraid say, unmentionable
but as the man that I am and have been
I have spoken about us, the ordinary mortals
I don't understand the others
I get scared, they don't look the same to me.
About them I can only say
that from the people (masses) they have managed to obtain
the stupid mercy for the policeman
about them I can only say
that they have taken away from me the taste (the pleasure)
of being personally pissed.
As a man, I can only say what I feel
that is: just the image of the great confusion.
But if I were God
I'd also be invulnerable and perfect
then I would't be scared at all
that way I would be able to shout, and I'd shout without restraining myself 'cause it's something stupid
for the fact that the members of the Red Brigades have gone really mad!
This is the difference between us and the unmentionable
I can speak about us because I know who we are
and maybe we cause more disgust than fear
but in front of the terrorism or of the one who kills himself, there's just dismay.
But if I were God
I wouldn't let this dismay bother me
and as for the politicians
I'd be as severe as I were at the beginning
because martyrs
have never made God change His mind.
And if my God who is still getting used
gets mad because of those who fire guns
He also gets mad
if an ordinary politician
because he shot a member of the Red Brigades
becomes the only statesman.
If I were God
that God who I'd need like I need a mirage
I would still have the courage to keep on saying
that Aldo Moro, along with all the Christian Democracy
is the biggest responsible for 25 years of Italian gangrene.
If I were God
an irrisponsible God, extremely wise
I would also have the courage to go straight to jail
but I would like to say that Aldo Moro still remains
that face he was!
But in the end all this is stupid
because logically
if I were God
I would rather see the Earth from far away
and maybe I wouldn't manage to get used
with this daily challenge (fight).
If I were God
I wouldn't care about hate and revenge
nor about forgiveness
because distance is the only revenge
the only forgiveness!
And then
I will finish by saying that if I were God
I would retire at the countryside
like I have done...
