What-If
"What if"
What if you wake up and see R.I.P to my name
My fire burning in your soul
So angry at yourself for not saying goodnight the night before the news blazed
And for the grudges you hold
As you stretch forth your hands to my portrait you know I'm with God in his throne
In all your sufferings and pains I still tell you that you are blessed
What If in our last conversation I asked for your forgiveness
Just to make amends
When you and I know that I didn't hurt you if we take God as our witness
What if you call to confirm my death
And hear my parent crying
Grieving in pain for my passing
Would you be left in regret ?
For the food I begged for as I was starving to death
What if you walk to my home and see my face on the poster with "Sun rise" and "Sun set" caption, and tears from my eyes on the portrait dripping
And my brother say to you "He journeyed to the land of no returning "
What if I kiss the grave before our next project?
Would you tell the world that I was a prospect?
