What If

What if the sun was the moon And the moon could shine at noon? What if the earth was the heaven And everything we ask for could be given? What if God was Satan And everything could change its pattern? What if a long the way you lose hope And the 'good' Satan gives you the rope? What if I could be born again And when born rich I call it a gain? What if the sky ceases to be blue And Elmer dislikes glue? What if the drying of oceans is our fear And we can fill it with our tears? What if our hearts are heavy And our minds are wavy? What if everyday I meet kissy little girls And with their hair in curls? What if I make a lot of fun And way they run? What if I broadly smile And they all go wild? What if Maangi loves Fred And Maingi bread? What if I blindly love Elsie And everyone else sees? What if everything I've said is true And you don't have the slightest clue? John Lenda (Poetic World,2022)
