The Consequence
I do not know how it could be
No terrible consequence to see
Blood on my hands
And the disgust beneath
Someone else's grief
To know it was because of me.
Life and breath
Beauty and depth
Stolen away
Because of me.
A denial of someone's dignity,
An offense against my own.
I do not know how it could be
No terrible consequence to see
Someone dead because of me.
No Excuse
If I had the power to kill five humans a year, I wouldn't
give it another thought. You see, there is no one on this
earth that could make me mad enough to want to undo
what God has created. I'm not better than him, nor am I
greater than him, so why should I defy him. I am nothing
until he direct me to out do myself. If five humans make
me so mad that I feel they should leave, then I should
try to help them to become better people. It's a reason
they are they way they are. And just like myself they are human
too. So If I had the power to kill five humans a year, I would
turn that power into something that will benefit me and those
around me. Someone somewhere have to stop the hatred. Let
it begin with me. I have no excuse.
Killing Isn’t Just Defined As Murder
1. I'd kill him first. I'd tell him I don't love him anymore. I'd tell him he means nothing to me. I'd tell him he hurt me beyond all known bounds of hurt. I'd stop talking to him. Reaching out to him. (Like he once told me,) He'd lose his "fun and loving self." If only I had that power.
2. I'd kill the mean ones next. I'd tell them their words don't hurt me. I'd hold my head high, and smile at them. If only I had that power.
3. I'd kill the haters after the means ones. I'd kill their tainted, evil insides with buckets of love for them. They'd be healed of hate. If only I had that power.
4. I'd kill the doubters after that. The ones who think I can't do anythng and will never be anything. I'd replace the doubt with yearning, wondering, confidence. If only I had that power.
5. I'd kill myself last. I'd kill the part of me that hates myself, thinks I'm ugly, thinks I'm stupid. If only I had that power.
Five lives
Five lives.
Every year.
That is it.
In the wide world, how do I choose?
Who is worse, pediphile or drug dealer?
Which is the greater evil, tyrant or terrorist?
Amung the warlords and the pimps, the murderers and the thrives, the corrupt and the false prophets, how in the hell do I choose?
When the axe falls, how many are left standing?
The cold hard truth is that five would never be enough. Five hundred, five thousand, five hundred thousand. Still not enough.
If it were in my power to rid the world of every villain and abuser, to pluck them up like so many weeds, I would.
But five lives, every year.
Ha!
You are trying to quench a volcano with a squirt gun.

With such power, I would become a god! I could rule the world!
After all, you did say no negative consequences. Every world leader would be at my beck and call. Me, pulling the strings in the background. Oh, they'd resist at first, of course, but once word got around that their favourite subordinate had dropped dead the day after their refusal to obey had been sent a few times, they'd bow down.
Illuminati? Lizard people? New World Order? Pah. I would be the new world order!
Finally, Trump would no longer be a problem. North Korea would reunify with the south and the Kim family would be imprisoned for crimes against humanity. Putin would be constantly looking over his shoulder until he bowed to the pressure too.
After the first few months there may not even be a need for more deaths and the world would be a hell of a better place.
Every war, every injustice, all that bigotry, terrorism and torture... Gone. Healthcare would be universal, world wide and free. All those things stolen from the people over the past forty years would be returned to state ownership but run properly so they could pay for themselves.
The nations would work together, not bicker amongst themselves and everyone would agree with my idea of how the world should be run. Everywhere outside the privacy of their own heads at least.
Oh, I wouldn't concern myself with the admin, they've got professionals to do that.
Hell Yeah
>Um...Yeah...I would and could. I would use that divine power to take out the 5 worst criminals known to mankind. It would be easy right? It doesn't have to be a violent death. It could be quick, like a gunshot to the head. They wont feel a thing. Just a quick, painless death. They wont ever hurt another person again. Wouldn't that be a nice gift for humanity? To remove 5 violent criminals off the streets to do no more harm to any one person ever again. I could make that sacrifice, I could forgive myself, I could wield that power, to help my fellow mankind against less violence, it's the least I could do. And I would do it all over again the following year, year after year, ridding the world of the scum of the Earth, with no consequence to me. Yeah...I would and could do that.
Destroy & Become
There are two ways I could go about this, I could eliminate those who I personally feel deserve it. Those I have met and despised, but that would be selfish because I don't believe I have ever encountered true evil. My other option is democracy. I could take suggestions and allow others to vote. But it won't be a true democracy I will still have the power of the ultimate decision, otherwise I would just be murdering annoying celebrities. Much as I would love to never see or hear of them again they aren't deserving of this fate. It wouldn't be anyone in prison already answering for their crimes. It would be those who had escaped justice. Possibly those unnamed individuals who we only know by their evil deeds. As for how it would be accomplished it would all seem accidental. The deaths would look like divine justice, suitable for their crimes. That way I could keep my actions secret and continue this work in private.
This responsibility would be a terrible burden that would likely wear down my soul. I'd have to guage levels of evil I don't even want to know exist. The power would come with a duty to help those who would be hurt if I chose not to use it. In the end I would become what I sought to eradicate, an evil being with bloody hands and a twisted mind.
