What If,
What If,
What If--
What would have happened had we been born
During times when certain baby hue meant true wealth,
true strength, and a name in veins red and blue?
What If...
There had been no gender genocide?
How many girls "went missing" because boys
were better to have and to hold?
I'd like to be told of that whole.
Who...
Who did we miss?
Who didn't we ever--
And won't ever get
A chance to meet?
How Many...
How many books weren't written?
How many family trees burned?
For the sake of a name change
that was going to happen
anyway.
A name they won't learn in history
Or memory.
In imagination, I suppose.
Alexandria,
That'll be her name.
For the ones who were burned, buried.
For the protection of mankind.
What if...
Alexandria had not fallen down?
Where would she be now?
That thought stays in my mind.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
