If

what if tomorrow was never

what if dreams became lost

what if thoughts were clever

and it didn’t feel like the holocaust

what if the storm passed us over

what if structures remained intact

would we bless a four leaf clover

could there be a sacred pact

if i was stronger and wiser

does it make a difference

selfish like the miser

under stress running interference

pain in the wind

chaos of a another sort

we want to mend

and be allowed to retort

through the eye of a needle

the world is small

our being is strange

a fragment of the picture

pose the question

answers are clear

it’s all a matter of fact

and a simple case of if..

what if love was eternal

what if memories fade

what if time was perpetual

and we tasted the blade

what if innocence is a lie

what if evil truly reigns

would we want to die

or just ignore the signs

if i was angry and starved

would you throw me a line

my carcass was carved

thrown in tombs of hollow pine

it’s a matter of conscience

cerebral conflict relevant

a lack of social abstinence

this is what makes me hesitant

through the eye of a needle

the world is small

our being is strange

a fragment of the picture

pose the question

answers are clear

it’s all a matter of fact

and a simple case of if..

if i was on my knees

would you grant me a favor

just tell me please

if your my savior...

if..

if..
