If Only... Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

If only the legends
about Phoenixes were true
i would never die
because I would always
rise from my ashes
but, we all know
that phoenixes don't exist
so it's never going to happen!

If only stories surrounding sphinxes were true
i would erect an image of myself
for the whole world to see
just to immortalize myself
but we all know sphinixes
don't exist!
and people don't get immortality
by building carved images of themselves

If only centaurs existed
i would be endowed with agility, speed and power
but we all know that centaurs don't exist
because they are just fantasies
of masculine power

If unicorns existed I would
have all the desires
of my heart by their power
of my magic powers but knows they don't exist
for his own selfish reasons
but we all know unicorns don't exists!

No matter what form,
image or shape
I choose to try and immortalize myself we will all know that
it's not true
