What If

Have you ever wonder what might have been? If nature had taken a different course And things would no be what they seem And reality was was always a dream So what if? If the moon was made of cheese And we all succeeded in the things we did Like exploding stars we would find a place Somewhere in the cosmos, in outer space What if we could rise from the dead And we had but one choice to make Would we choose the same path again? Or divert to a new one instead What if we could rule the world And we had all the diamonds and pearl Would we share if amongst ourselves Or would we give it to no one else What if the earth was flat? And we fell off it's edge Would we drift in outer space? Or would we be stuck in just one place What if we had no gravity And we floated in space Would it conjure up new possibilities Or would we lost in time and place. What if there we had no bees And we got honey from the trees Would we still be satisfied Or would we still feel deprived What if we were all ten feet tall And our nose were longer than our feet Do you think we would benefit Or would it matter not at all What if time moved in reverse And we know the future as it is the past Would we still be in a hurry to live Or would we savour the future Because we have already visited the past. There are many conundrums that one can imagine If nature had taken a different course That the path it choose to begin But if you want to keep away boredom And really stretch your mind Just think if nature had taken a different course Than the way we know it Just for a while.
