Speed of Light

If I had the speed of light,
Life would seem too easy
Life would be long
Enough to feel immortal

With the speed of light
Success would be easy..
If you count theft without being caught.
Without a worry
I would have luxury

With the speed of light
I would travel the world.
I would be living the life I wish I had
The most beautiful places in the world
Would be discovered by a single being

If I had the speed of light,
I would be faster than a bullet
From a gun of a murderer’s hand..
What would happen if I were shot?
Would death come for me..
At the speed of light?

Poetprentice Dupins April 20, 2017 at 1:26 PM A great poem that makes me think. Of course with my luck, if I had the speed of light, life would flash before my eyes. Great poem!

Darren White April 20, 2017 at 3:54 AM It's funny, I have sometimes asked myself that same question: suppose I were faster than light, faster than that bullet, ould it ever be able to hit me? I love the repetition of the first line of every stanza, to be short, I like your poem very much, well done, this free verse poem :) Darren White April 20, 2017 at 3:54 AM Oh and welcome to PoetrySoup!
