Imagine

Written By: Kalen Lewis

Imagine that you’re upside-down,
Floating through the air.
Imagine that you see the world,
Just as it is.
Imagine that the world you see,
Has its goods and bads.
Imagine that the world you see,
Is the only one you have.

For the goods you might see,
A lake with shallow waters,
A forest up high, high,
High in the mountains,
You might see a family,
Spending time together.
Some fish playing all around,
In the shallow waters.

For the bads you might see,
A man on the street,
Starving, scraping, for a coin,
To buy something to eat,
You might see a littered stretch,
Where plants cannot grow.
Where animals are abused,
Down in the dusty below.

Now imagine the gravity,
Not being as it’s told,
Lifting everything up to you,
From the dusty below,
From the shallow waters,
From the littered stretch,
From the high, high, mountains.
As it floats all around you,
You wonder how it all happened.

The sky as your floor,
The earth as your ceiling,
God didn’t make it that way,
It wasn’t supposed to happen.
