What if we don't follow orders what if, we ignore the Pope what if, there is no punishment delivered, at the bottom of a rope What if we decide not to hurt and **** what if, we all live in peace what if, there is real justice rehabing, criminals and thiefs What if we propose a human treaty what if, it's put up to a vote what if, it passes referendum government, no longer bloats and gloats What if we treat each other gently what if, kind words are thoughts are said what if, you and I my friend abandon war, embracing love, instead

When we're sitting in the theater, watching the movie of the day. All I want is to take her gentle hand, and lead her far away. Far away to where the reasons, she said we could never be, give way to the connection, between her and me. But I can't. I can't because she said so; she said it will never work. She doomed it from the beginning, because of all the irk. All the irk that might happen, if the "inevitable" does occur. She wouldn't believe what I tell my friends, when they ask me about her. What she doesn't realize about me and her is that things will never go cold. But for now I'll just sit back, relax, and watch our film unroll.

What will become of me? or better yet, what could have become of me? At times, I stare out at the world from screened and barred windows contemplating alternate futures for myself. The “what-if’s” and “could have been’s” taunt me, causing me to flirt with the idea of things being different. ___ I seem to forget what actually is, unappreciative of what actually has become of me, of what I have already become, overlooking the things I’ve done right. ___ It’s time I changed focus. Transfix upon the ever-changing present, not concentrating on what never was, and no longer entertaining worries of what will be, or what will not.

Alternate Futures
