What If Poem by REGINA WILLIAMS

WHAT IF GIANTS WAS NO MYTH BUT REAL,
WHAT IF MAN AND ANIMALS DID NOT KILL.

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO PRESIDENT BUT WE WERE RULED
BY ONE KING,
NO SENATE, NO CONGRESS OR ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

WHAT IF ANIMALS WERE ALL VEGETARIANS,
AND THEY DID GOOD THINGS AND WERE HUMANITARIANS.

WHAT IF BIRDS ONLY WALKED AND DID NOT FLY,
WHAT IF THERE WAS JUST THE UNIVERSE BUT NO SKY.

WHAT IF ALL THE PEACE MAKERS OF THE PAST DIDN'T
EXIST,
WHAT IF DICTATOR'S DID NOT RULE WITH AN IRON FIST.

WHAT IF EVERYDAY WAS A DAY OF FORGIVENESS FOR DEBTOR'S,
WHAT IF THERE WAS NO DEBT AND DEBT COLLECTORS.

WHAT IF ALL MANKIND WAS HAPPY AND LIVED FREE,
WITH NO MATRIX, POVERTY, RELIGION OR DECREE.

WHAT IF OUR FOOD WAS NOT GENETICALLY MODIFIED,
WHAT IF THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY WASN'T BASED ON
LIES.

WHAT IF THE TRUTH WAS TOLD,
WE COULD STAND, HOLD OUR HEAD UP AND BE BOLD,
WHAT IF WE WERE NEVER THREATENED BY THE RUMORS OF
WAR,
I THINK THIS WOULD CERTAINLY RAISE THE BAR.

WHAT IF ALL SHELTER AND UTILITIES HAD NO COST,
WHAT IF OUR CHILDREN NEVER WERE LOST.

WHAT IF PEDOPHILIA NO LONGER EXIST,
THAT'S ONE CRIME I SURELY WOULDN'T MISS! ! !

WHAT IF LIFE WAS A BED OF ROSES,
NO HUNGER, DEBT, HARM OR STUCK UP NOSES.

WHAT IF EVERYONE HAD A HEART OF GOLD,
NO MAN WOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING BOUGHT
OR SOLD.

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS ABORTION,
WHAT IF EVERY HUMAN WAS SERVED EQUAL PORTIONS.

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO SICKNESS OR DISEASE,
WHAT IF ALL PEOPLE SAID THANK YOU AND PLEASE.

WHAT IF EVERYONE HAD A MUTUAL RESPECT,
MAYBE THERE WOULD BE NO KIND OF NEGLECT.

WHAT IF EVERYONE COULD BE STRAIGHT OR GAY,
SO NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY.
THE CHOICE WOULD BE THEIRS AND NO ONE ELSE,
PEOPLE MUST KEEP THEIR OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES.

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO HEAVENS AND NO HELL,
WHAT IF THERE WAS NO PRISONS AND NO JAILS.

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO SKID ROW, SLUM OR HOOD,
WHAT IF THINGS WERE PERFECT AND LIFE WAS GOOD.

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO FIGHTING AND NOBODY EVER ABUSED,
WHAT IF ALL ACCUSER'S BECAME THE ACCUSED.

WHAT WOULD THIS DO FOR OUR WORLD AND COUNTRY,
IT WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE AND NO ONE WOULD BE HUNGRY.

PEOPLE WOULD STOP MAKING ACCUSATIONS AND SPREADING
FALSE LIES,
MAYBE THERE WOULD BE LESS BROKEN FAMILY TIES.

THERE WOULD BE NO FEAR OF ANYTHING AT ALL,
NO DISRESPECT, NO BETRAYAL AND NO BOOTY CALLS.

ALL THIS I THINK MAKES FOR A BETTER PLACE,
FOR NOT JUST SOME BUT THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE.
