What if, and what if, and what if?

What if Hunter Thompson had missed?
What if Hemingway hadn't kissed the bottom
of his shotgun?
What if men, and women, weren't so greedy?
What if the seas weren't polluted
and the skies weren't full of acid rain?
What if your Daddy didn't get drunk and hit you,
after he pushed your mother to the floor(again)?
What if fast food outlets sold food that was good
for the poor?
What if, and what if, and what if?
