If. And.

If things were different
And we knew things
Things that we do not know now

If time was more fair
And it could stand still for us
The world would have been upside down

If death was predictable
And we knew when it was our turn
We would have lived like robots

If heaven was nearer
And we could sojourn to and fro
Earth would soon be unimportant

If we could choose whom to love
And we did choose
World war infinity would still be on-going

If we had all we wanted
And there was nothing more to want
We would have died of lack of want

If you were me
And I was you
You might have written this and I would be reading it
