Just Imagine What If....

echoes cry unto the night
street fires erupt from burning vessels
hostile takeovers from empty boardrooms
melting pot full of lost dreams
euphoria fills the midnight air
tantilyzing treats of mass destruction
various colors of a nation bleeding
desperation grips us from the core
paradise is no more
yesturday becomes a myth
tomorrow is bet on a lottery ticket
words are banished
luck is borrowed
fingertips scraped for identity
tongues cut off to stop wars
menstrual cycles become holidays
television is no longer used to transform our children
blackmail is as common as the flu just more deadly
mars and jupiter are the new earth
the world is taking over by robots
we are no longer us
now we become what was

just a little food for thought
