morning mist
making everything magical

if I had a superpower
I'd make people honest.
There'd be no more talk of 'God this'
and "God wants that,'
unless the speaker truly believed it.
Imagine how politics would change;
advertisers, Twitter users...
Religion would be the nutcases
and not those who used it as a means to power
or to shirk responsibility.
Wars would be honest affairs:
"I want the grain producing land"
and "I'm just a greedy asshole,"
and the criminal justice system
would be meritorious.
Finally, I could just say:
"I want you to stop harassing me,"
and people would.
