WHAT IF (a poem by Agnes Olayemi Johnson)

Read Time:53 Second
What if, 
 The moon fails to light.
 And our sun never rises
 Our silhouette no longer stands behind but hangs over our heads like clouds.
  
 what if, 
 The light turns dark
 And the sky goes grey. 
 The flying birds never come back.
  
 What if
 Our names are engraved on our foreheads
 And our dreams are placards we hold over our heads.
  
 What if, 
 Our destinies are handed to us in tiny meal packets
 The hands of the clock turns to lead
 And we are all frozen in time.
  
 What if
 Our days are numbered
 And our nights are haunted
 And death comes knocking
  
  
 What if, 
 Our graves are dug long before we were born
 Our lives are played before our eyes
 And we never died.
  
 What if.
