[Poem] What if?

What if it was a dream, 

What if we are never going to wake up? 

What if life was an endless stream,

Ever flowing, never to dry up?

What if we are immortals

With some super power? 

Beyond lies a portal

Where our hope comes from a hidden tower.

What if we didn't have to go through pain.

Just laughs, jokes and an ageless face

What if we were insane

Just to taste freedom of the other mental phase.

What if all these were a blockbuster movie 

Playing the lead actor

And we an endangered specie 

Living by mere survival, our key factor?

We lived all day 

Yet grew not older

Having so much to say

Yet all we do is ponder. 

And if we are slaves?

Serving a common master,

Living in caves,

Hoping time would go faster.

Imagine we jumped into the ocean

To find a world beneath

One that would end our search

For love and compassion.

If we didn't have to suffer 

For all to be well

And that we have to conquer 

The fears that within us dwell.

Then we finally met with HIM

Or could He be a woman?

Questions rolling like a film

Till we understand the plan.

So many what if

Yet we live as though we aren't bothered

But deep within we blame Adam and eve 

Only if the serpent had been murdered.

What if love and hate were all lies, and we were made emotionless 

Not wanting to say the goodbyes

Would that make us more human or less.  

These are questions 

Ringing in my head 

Answers I need 

While I lay on my death bed.
