WHAT IF

MY IMAGINATION RUNNING WILD

WHAT IF

WHAT IF THE GIANT STEPS

ON THE MOON THAT

DAY THOSE

FIRST GIANT STEPS FOR

MANKIND

WERE  THE DOOMSDAY

THE END OF THE

MOONS SPECIES

HIDDEN IN THOSE ROCKS

AND BOULDERS

WERE TINY

LITTLE CREATURES

INVISIBLE TO MENS EYES

BUT THEY THOUGHT

WE WERE THEIR

GOD

THEIR GOD

THAT THEY WORSHIPPED

FROM AFAR

THIS WAS THE END

OF THEIR DAYS

OUR GIANT STEP FOR MANKIND

WE ROSE

WE CONQUERED SPACE

THEY THOUGHT OUR STEPS

WERE THEIR GODS

LITTLE DID THEY KNOW

WE ARE NOT GODS

WE ARE BUT HUMBLE

MEN

PROUD MEN

MEAN MEN

KIND MEN

LOVING MEN

VIOLENT MEN

HUMAN MANKIND

NO

NOT GODS BY ANY MEANS

BUT WHAT IF ALL OVER THE

UNIVERSE THEY STILL THINK

AS THEY HIDE IN THEIR

ROCKS INVISIBLE

AND SEE OUR SPACECRAFT

AND SATELLITES

THAT ONE DAY

GOD WILL COME BACK TO THEM

SAVE THEM

THEY ARE MISTAKEN

WE ARE BUT MORTAL MEN

WAITING FOR OUR GOD TO COME BACK

WHAT GIANT FOOTPRINT WILL OUR

GOD LOOK LIKE

WHEN HE RETURNS TO TAKE US HOME

THE PLANETS ALL WAIT

FOR THAT BIG GIANT FOOTSTEP

THAT ONE LEAP FOR GOD

FOR ALL MANKIND

[Chris Shaw]

An interesting and thought provoking poem. Entertaining to read and imaginative. Well done.

Chris

Thanks so much really

[Lyn Anderson]

Far from stupid. An interesting piece. My only suggestion would be to play with the format, and possibly use a block paragraph prose style. It would make it seem like some sort of intense dreamy monologue ...

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

thanks for the advice, though I haven't studied or learnt poetry at all I would have to research on this thanks

[Lyn Anderson]

For excellent such block paragraph style prose, look at Ken Simm

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Ok
Thanks ....

[Mari' Emeraude]

Wow! Great poem and an interesting 'what if' observation.

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

[Amanda Trerotola]

Not stupid at all! Imaginatination is supposed to be creative. Never apologize for allowing yourself to write what you are thinking.

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

thanks that means a lot to me
really

[emmajoy]

Imagination is what it is, free to roam however and wherever its initiator decrees! Your imagination has run majestic riot, leaping over logic or teaching or ancient beliefs or... and made thoughts in others fidget, perhaps gloat, maybe frown, at being discovered! Who knows? None of us, not a one. But as thinkers, authors and artists people have created way ahead of time, and that time has proved their thinking be true.. who's to know the answer to your rip-roaring spiritual exploration of and into the unknown. It's gargantuan. .

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

thanks so much
that means a lot to me

To think with such freedom not hindered by common expectation. I enjoyed your thoughts the way you flipped the deck and opened up an entire realm of ‘possibility’. Creativity needs this freedom to venture to enquire. Many mahalo.

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Island HIppy thanks so much for this review means a lot

Please don’t ever act apologetic for having a wild-a*s imagination. I would kill to be able to think so very far outside the dots. You have no idea what a curse it is to be a plodding predictable thinker as I’ve been most of my life. Someone who writes this way (in your poem) and then apologizes – this makes it clear that she doesn’t comprehend her own gift. I’ve been on this website for 2-1/2 years trying to get my mind to loosen up & operate outside the dots, being inspired by free thinkers like you all this time! I love your poem, but not the way you dismiss it as silly conjecture. This is pure brilliance! I hate the way humans never think about the little bits we might be trampling into oblivion!!! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

wow thanks Margie glad i inspire you a bit thanks for your wonderful review xx you inspire me
