The Power to Convert

If I had the power to convert;

I'll convert ugly crawling spiders,
to beautiful colorful butterflies.

I'll convert the hungry predatory sharks
to fun yellow banana boats.

I'll convert life threatening cancer cells,
to save stable cells.

I'll convert the nasty smelling toxic cigarettes,
to sweet white candy sticks.

I'll convert recent destructed homes,
to modern eco friendly houses.

I'll convert the obnoxious stingy people,
to friendly generous citizens.

I'll convert empty food dishes,
to buffet style meal plates.

I'll convert unattractive harmful litter,
to head turning wild flowers.

I'll convert potential deadly weapons,
to pure delicate white roses.

This is one beautiful write! Loved the line about the ciggs. But what I love the most is the ending. Also I really like the convert at the beginning of the line. Of course a ten!!

This poem is so optimistic. If only we lived in such a world. Since we don't it's nice to read this poem and imagine that we did. Good write and I appreciate the way you made use of your imagination.

It is alway sin our power to convert bad into good; but sometimes we upset the apple cart by doing so. After all we wouldn't want a billion banana boats, smile. A good imaginative "write" of wrongs. Olan

To convert .... make a change..... Turn something from bad to good........ To change for the better....... To see change.... we have to change........ to feel change...... we have to begin to change.... but to start any kinda change...... we have to ask to be changed...... He is the one that can change all..... Jesus came to change it all.... not in our time or will we understand........ red

I totally agree with you. Obviously we have to put it in God's hands first. But, with faith and perseverance we can achieve the change we want.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
