What “if”?

What if I told you that someone else was there that night?

- The slippery postulate of the desperate defense

What if our choices could transcend our insignificant plight?

- The rhetorical premise to enflame and incense

What if we just need more time for our hearts to unite?

- The plaintive plea of a love in suspense

What if society could be more gracious and polite?

- The fantastical musings of dreamers come whence

If what the questions pose is weighed, more than their answers may be portrayed.
