What if

Minka awesome 2004 (Kaduna)



What if the hero I wished for was always me
What if the chains tied to me was always free
What if we are just in someone's film
What if nothing exists and we're in someone dream

What if I could actually tell the future
What if in the future I see my body eaten by a vulture
What if fear and dreams exists in the same place
What if after all struggle still ended as a disgrace

What if I love and then forced to hate
What if because of that love am taken to court to debate
What if it's better to say 'oops' than what if
To jump a cliff or become emotionally stiff

What if I feel this way for the rest of my life
What If I meet God, what will I say in the afterlife
What if I fall as my enemies multiply
Oh my darling my wife said what if you fly

What if when I die that's when I started living
What if am giving my horoscope and it has no meaning
What if I ended this poem with many intentions
What if I give you a suggestion of my intention
What if the devil told me to write these questions!?

What if, this poem no farewell spoken or goodbye
And what if only God knows why?
