What ifA Poem by Alexander143Debateable truths and perceived realities.What if life is smaller than we see; If in the eyes of eternity, it's a microscopic circle, running constantly, the same few things occuring repeatedly? The simplicity that is deemed complex by you and me. What if beautiful looks ugly, In a different light, And lovely, spiteful under constant sight? What if now's joys degrade to later's sorrow? And today's toys to treasure tomorow? What if we can't truly love? If hating and revenging is all we're really capable of? What if I hate what is bad, but I'm still not head over hills in love with what is good? Okay, if love was blind, why is it that I still see food? What if teeth are just bones, Like gold and diamonds are also stones? What if we could look beyond what we thought we see. Catch sight of courage in a street kid's eye and in a challenge, an opportunity. What if we worked together. Cooperating, bearing with and understanding each other. What if we did not wait for our future to come. But dashed to embrace it and relate the pangs of where we're from. What if villains look more innocent than children, And wickedness coated in a grin could make up for whatever beautiful rememberance is burried and forsaken. What if a Judas kiss turns me on- And instills in me the bliss that was eternally gone? What if I'm not really an angel, If the side of me that you never get to see is cruel. What if I fear to look it the mirror? Cuz I always catch sight of midday horror? What if I spend my life running away from me? Can I be myself, otherwise, which me could I be? What if I don't care? You say I'm what you see and I act like you're not even there. What if education is the lock to the doors of my spiritual prize? Spend every breath studying medicine when we'll have no sickness in paradise. What if I never get to say everything I wish. And I did it again. Just cut the ribbon, Finish!
