What If
What if,
When you arise one day
There’s no sun to be seen
Everything looking grey
And nothing looks green
What if,
You try to use the phone
But you can’t make a call
When you turn texting “on”
It doesn’t work at all
What if,
When you throw the switch
None of the lights turn on
Dark, like you’re in a ditch
You really feel alone
What if,
There isn’t any noise
No cars are in the street
Parks have no girls or boys
Then suddenly there’s heat
What if,
There was nuclear war
The death cloud on its way
Nothing that you asked for
All you can do is prey
