| Frida: |
Poems like this are boring: "what if" questions are basically a waste of time. |
| Ying: |
Perhaps so, but it's also good to remember that the universe is not as actually as solid as we imagine. |
| Dmiritri: |
Our world is a matrix with in which billions of "what ifs" converge to create "what seems". |
| Satoru: |
Uh huh. Well, what if we changed the topic? |

What if politicians cared about this planet
more than how their coffers became?
What if long term consequences mattered
more than short term profits gained?
What would the world be like
if democracy existed
or freedom be like
if it were more than
a figure of speech?
