what if the rain never fell
if life was lifeless
we'd be living in hell
what if god never gave us a heart
if we didnt love
we'd be falling apart
What if none of us had any power
if we were weak
we'd be a colorless flower
What if we had no voice
if we were quiet
we'd had no choice

the thing that inspired me most to write this piece is after watching a movie about the revolutionary war in history class, i think it was a very inspirational movie and i absolutley love writing so i thought what better way to express my feelings about it then to write it :)

I like the rhyme in this poem. "what if god never gave us a heart/if we didn't love/ we'd be falling apart" (l.1/2/3) are my favorite lines. I would change the tone of this poem because not all "what ifs" are bad.
