14/4/2014

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “If I Were (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. Possible titles might include: “If I Were President,” “If I Were Smarter,” “If I Were a Little More Sensitive,” or “If I Were Born on April 14.” If I were you, I’d get poeming about now.

IF I WERE~~~CLAIRVOYANT
By John Yeo

If I were able to see into the future,
When and how I would pass away.
Would I be able to alter the outcome?
Take steps to alter the finality
Of my death or a long drawn out illness.

Would I be able to be somewhere else?
Somewhere I wasn't supposed to be?
Would I then be responsible
For altering lives that depended on me?
If I were able to alter the future.

If I could see life after death
Where I will be going when I die
Would I be tempted to get there fast?
End this life to enjoy the next?
If I were able to control the future.

Perhaps it is better to be as I am,
A blind clairvoyant, wishing the future
To be, the way I would like it to be.
In total ignorance of the final reality.

Perhaps it is better to be ME
