I often feel

The world isn't real

An illusion formed

To create disillusion

A simulation made

To foment frustration

What am I?

Man or God?

And thus I sigh

If I am a man

Then what is the plan?

If God I am

It must be

That I am a great big sham

"If I were fire, I’d burn up the world"

If I were fire, I’d burn up the world;
if I were storm, I’d raise a giant swell
and drown it all; if I were God I’d hurl
this rat’s-ass circus all the way to hell.

If I were pope, how happy I would be!
I’d cheat the Christians blind and suck their blood.
To serve as emperor I might agree,
so I could chop off everybody's head.

If I were death, I’d go to see my dad—
of course with mother I would do the same.
If I were life, I’d run from them like mad.

If I were Cecco, as I was and am,
I’d take the lovely and the lively dames
and leave for you the ugly and the sad.

Cecco Angiolieri, Late 13th Century
