What If?

June 4, 2011
By Anonymous

What if the world was flat
or the grass was blue
The sky green?
What if a dog walked on two legs
or bird had four legs
bears were hairless?
What if flowers were as tall as trees
or trees could walk?
What if all people were the same color
or the same height?
What if the world stopped turning
or the rain stopped falling?
What if everyone died
or a atomic bomb went off?
What if every one only asked what if...What if?

I wrote this as a class assignment. I noted that my brother always asks what if and thought about how many people ask the same.
