Unleash the Inner-Child Its Contagious
What if I became a mad scientist that created a mysterious new virus,
and unleashed it on the world’s population?
What if this virus was the only hope to save mankind from eventually
destroying itself, and the planet earth?
What if I was caught in the act, and jailed for life before I released it?
What if the world continued to spin out of control for the next 20 years?
What if at the very end of our existence just before we had all been destroyed;
The President came to visit me and wanted my secret formula?
What if I gave him the recipe for my mysterious virus, and showed him how it works?
What if there was really no such thing as a cure all virus and I was bluffing all along?
What if I’m bluffing right now, and there really is a cure all virus that could save us all?
What if there was hope for mankind and this planet before it’s too late?
What if you had a crystal ball and could see 20 years into the future?
What if you had an original thought of your own and could create the cure?
What if the fate of this planet and all that dwells upon it were in your hands?
What if I told you there’s no such thing as a crystal ball, and our future is here and now?
What if I told you that you could create an original thought, but you never will unless you try?
What if we started asking why and stopped thinking what if?
