WHAT IF?
by BENJI
What if the skies were white, and the clouds were blue?
What if you could relive every moment, just like it were new?
What if no one ever hated, and everyone was loved?
What if you could fly, and touch the heavens above.
What if you had the remote to your life.
Rewind to a baby, or fast-forward to a wife.
What if everyone was honest, and no one ever lied.
What we could see all our lost veterans. What if soldiers never died.
What if the one that you loved never hurt you.
What if every promise they made actually went through.
What if guys looked at you for you,Instead of looking at your clothes,
Only seeing through.
What if people weren’t ignorant, and we all knew,
That your education is more important than buying your new shoes.
What if violence is stupid, and really isn’t the answer.
What if Hitler was Marley, and never built a Panzer.
What if you could win a war with a poem.
Hero’s battling with stanzas, I wish I could know ‘em.
What if this poem never ended, it just became a work in progress.
I can think about that later, but now I must regress.
