What If

What if I pondered for some time An end to life like end to rhyme Not quite much as it may seem In truth not more than end of dream What if it be of import not More than a passing thought forgot Why hold to life must I then yearn Mute lesson leaving aught to learn What if of life there be no joy Within its clutch I but a toy Of Hellish children wrecked and wreathed In pain until my last I breathed What if I would not rather meet The wretch I am at end than greet Oblivion sure to be bliss Compared to life of naught to miss
