Thinking the Impossible

I want to ask you

How would the world be

If we could write volumes and volumes,

stacks and stacks of books

On our minds

At the click of our minds,

our brain google searches

Then in seconds, message is retrieved?

 How would the world be

 If we could fly to distant endless skies

Such that a flap coudl slap us aloft the ground?

How would the Earth be

If we had portable fridges in our stomachs

Which providence would have bestowed upon us

Such that we are full by food,

through food and in food

Be it Ugali, sukumawiki, okra, akume zozo, spaghetti,

Murenda, chicken, chapati, crisps, hooves, bonemarrow...

 

How about if Leaders

Dropped

from the Gates of Heaven

Sliding in the castles and spiralways of the air,

and with a thud

Bump unto seat of power

Prayed for by the subjects of the world?

I want to ask you

to give me your humble opinion:

How would the world be

If Palestinians and Israelites shook hands and  made  merry

in the Gaza strip: 

Or Darfur crisis crisped under the tender warmth of love

Or Global Terrorism terrorised itself and fled with terror

Or Nuclear wars, Bomb blasts, Tomahawks, Missiles

Exploded into another planet, for good?

How would the world be

If sorrows, dejections, heartbreaks-

Phased out?
