Super Powers Part Two


Super Powers

If I woke up tomorrow and found out I had super powers I would hope that it would be enabling myself to become invisible, breathe fire, fly at the speed of light, have the strength of a bear, and being able to read and control the thoughts of humans and animals, as a result I believe that I would be mentally and spiritually exhilarated. The very first thing I would do is visit jails, by touching the inmates I could tap into their thoughts. If I deem them innocent, I would use my invisibility to rewrite court documents, consequently pardoning the inmates. Next I would tap into the minds of everyone I pass. Just by looking at people whether I could seem them physically or even by looking at someone on television or magazines I could control their thoughts. I would make everyone think and act on one accord, wiping out all evil and prejudice. I would tune into Oprah Winfrey. Inside of Oprah’s mind I would implant thoughts of high favoritism. When Oprah would speak she would possibly say, “One of my favorite people in the world is Nicole_______ who resides in Virginia Beach Virginia.”
Having this super power I could change the community and possibly change as much of the world in which I would be able to case. I would invisibly tap into the minds of all branches of congress to stop the war in Iraq, make them pass laws to wipe out interest and make education and healthcare free to all Americans. This would help all United States citizens who are so deep in dept, that it has controlled their inner beings and have resulted in divorces, depression, and suicides. I would also go to neighborhoods and schools of children who are less fortunate giving clothes, shoes, books and toys. I would retaliate on rapist, murders and child molesters by painting them in a non-removable shade of green and then by breathing fire in their faces, so as to cast them out for all to beware. A green burnt face would certainly make criminals stand apart. I would also gain entrance to all drug houses and discard of all drugs and give the money back to the communities by building playgrounds, planting new landscaping, and opening community centers for young children to have fun and a safehaven from all of the daily atrocities. I would tap into the minds of CEO’s of major corporations and have the jobs that were sent overseas brought back, I would have the CEO’s donate their private jets to charities such as Operation Smile or Life Net (a company that manages and delivers organs from deceased donors).I would order the CEO’s to give their mansion’s away to families who have recently lost their homes and transfer money from their colossal accounts to their maids, butlers and chauffeur’s. I would summon vicious dogs to rip the breast implants of the CEO’s wives.
I would run to the newsstand and get magazines of John McCain, Mariah Carey and Elizabeth from the View. Elizabeth is evil; she would be destroyed first. I would sync into the mind of a Boa Constrictor causing it to slither onto the set of the View and choke the life out of Elizabeth on live television and silencing her forever. I would use my thoughts to make John McCain go into the nearest Lowe’s hardware and find a chain saw and cut what’s left of his short arms off. Looking at the internet, I would cause a cross from the nearest church steeple to fall on Mariah Carey causing permanent damage to her face, but somehow, giving her an ass. I would Google pictures of the poor, sick and hungry villagers in Africa, Haiti and all third world countries. I would call upon all the lions, tigers and bears to hunt and kill all other animals that are inferior to themselves on the food chain. Once they have killed their prey, I would signal them to take the dead offerings to the villagers and leave. I would also summon Mother Nature to make it rain for forty days and forty nights plus have a scheduled rain twice a week. This would reduce drought, causing more food and vegetables to grow. I would locate one of the worlds most renown scientist place my hands on his head and look him in the eyes implanting in him the scientific remedy to abort AIDS, Cancer and all other terminal diseases.
I would rather remain anonymous for my good deeds as people do tend to cling around when one has fortune, fame or notoriety, and sometimes the person offering the act of kindness looks for glory and self-gratification. Recently my fourteen-year-old son and I were sitting in the driveway at a local Hardees restaurant waiting on our order. A strange man lingered around looking that of a vagabond, hauling numerous amounts of bags on his back and the handlebars of the undersized bike in which he was riding. He parked his bike and proceeded to come to the drive through window located next to my car door. I thought he was going to beg for money from me or ask the employee to give him some free food. Instead he did the unthinkable. He kneeled down between the driver side door of my vehicle and the drive through window of the restaurant. I locked my doors and watched cautiously as he stood up with the biggest smile on his face beaming at the change he had picked up that was dropped on the ground by someone more fortunate than he. I felt so bad I rolled my window down and gave him ten dollars and the food that my son and I had just ordered. He asked me if I could spare anything else; give him a ride or give him food for later. I told him that he should be thankful and that there was someone doing worse than he was. I was a little livid. He thanked me and I headed home thinking of how ungrateful and selfish the homeless man was. My son had no understanding and questioned what I had just done. Without any explanation, I assured him that we had just been blessed. He was hungry and did not accept my actions. I told him he should not judge my actions, or me I decided on stopping at a steakhouse which was in route to our home, putting an end to my son’s agitation.
What would this world become if we all had super powers? Would it become a better place? Would it be crime free? Would greed amplify and replace morale’s and principal’s ?With having my super powers, there would be no need to have my name on marquee, no need for media attention or my home phone ringing for interviews on the morning talk show. I would smile with great self-contention because no man for whom I would do any phenomenal act for would have a heaven or hell to place me. It would be my higher power for whom I am sure would be pleased and have great approval; consequently, shaping my fate.
