What If?
I will attempt to explore the question; "What would you say?" with a self-scribed poem intitled, "What if."
*Blue Grass Painting By Monique Dufour
What If
The grass was blue
And the sky green
What if
What if
We fought hate and waged peace
Would hate then propagate
What if
Love was our pledge of allegiance
And our children religion
What if
Apathy only applied to the universe
What if
Unemployment was over-employment
And depression
A bad dream
What if
The electric car was google
And cloning cure cancer
Would Providence forgive us
Or would his wrath
Flood future temptation
What if
Fallen stars are dreams
And eBoLa
A distraction
What if
Reality
Are memories
Would you remember me
Or would I
Die in the shadow of a distant thought
Buried in your mind
Forever deceased
And if money was dirt
Where would the dead be
An alternative source of energy
Abortion would provide the gist of that
And if God was visible
Would you see Him
Or is sodom so enticing
It blinds us inexplicably
What if
We could live beyond tomorrow
And chase our dreams forever
And the lottery remained the same
Would your luck change
What if
We can do it again
Would you do it all the same?
