What If?

What if I was never born,
Would this world be the same?
If I was vanquished from existence,
Would anyone be blamed?

What if I were to die,
Who would mourn my ending?
Would people be at the viewing?
Would anyone need any mending?

What if I was someone else?
Who would fill my shoes?
What would I do different,
Would I have any new dues?

What if I were to keep mute,
Would I be noticed at all,
Will someone ask me where and why,
Would my existence suddenly fall?

What if I was a killer,
Would people understand my intentions?
Does anyone want to know why,
My minds own directions?

What if we all asked questions daily?
What if we were questioned why?
Would you be able to answer,
Or even care to try?

What if we were all gone?
Where would we all go?
What if the world ceased to exist,
The last curtain to our show?

Hmmm

Food for thought....
