What if Eve never defied god and ate the forbidden fruit?
would we still be dieing day after day
could we even handle the immortal power of the human race?
Or would we just fall like the Roman empire?
What if Jesus never died for our sins?
would we find him curing the sick and feeding the poor?
If our deadly sins were never forgiven, would we find the same people in heaven
Or would they be burning in hell for all eternity
What if we never came to America?
would the Indians be the only ones walking the land?
inventing new things
never dieing from the disease the Europeans bought to them
could we still be found here today?
what if Lincoln never freed the slaves?
would we still be in shackles being transported into the hell its self
our sweat staining the ground with every steamy drop of pain
or would we still be kings and queens in Africa?
What if Dr. King never gave his speech?
would we still be drinking from different water fountains going to different schools
Still getting beat on for looking to hard or for speaking when we weren’t being spoken to
Not being treated like a human
But an unwanted hair in a women’s eyebrow
just get plucked one by one from the rest of the world and be forgotten
Could we handle the split world?
What if Bush was never elected?
would we treat Gore and Karry the same
blaming them for someones selfless actions
can we ever realize that he is still human
and didn’t make all of the decisions that were made for this country
But yet all we can think about is the president and not the other people behind the closed doors
What if we never went to Iraq?
would we be fighting on U.S. soil
would their even be a war
innocent people dieing because of the insecurities of some man that blew up buildings
The men and women dieing day after day
not knowing if this breath would be their last
could we handle any more bloodshed?
What if Obama never won?
would black people still be so involved
coming together as one
yet a couple of months earlier were going to kill one another
Are we hypocrites for preaching change and doing good by one another
Are we really coming together as one?
Or just using his name as an excuse to do foolish things
and make idiotic songs that don’t have a meaning
but we sing along because they mention our black president
would we still listen if he was never mentioned?
What if none of this ever happened?
would we still be the world we have come to be?
would you eat think and breath the same?
Or would you change like your hand does when you flip it to the other side?
