Would You? Poem by Akash Justin Ovian

Would you say I'm dreaming?
If I told you man can fly
But what if only he tried,
With a heart that told no lie
Would you call me a fool?
If I told you love is true
If only guns would cease to be,
Cold hearts would truly become few

Would you say I'm insane?
If I told you I needed no food to live
But is food that which feeds the mind?
When sorrow is near, peace will it give?
Would you call me crazy?
If I told you I could see the wind
But not with eyes that see lies and sin,
But the eyes of my soul that have never sinned

Would you tear my heart apart?
If I abandoned you that crucial time
But what if I did only to save you
Would I have committed an evil crime?
Would you stab me with your sharpened dagger?
For the hurt I caused you in the past
Or grant me forgiveness for which I plead,
Reject hate, and re-unite at last

Would you call me a treacherous liar,
If I told you God is by my side?
Though sin is ample in my broken heart,
I have stepped down from the pedestal of pride
Would you tell God to abandon me?
And let my tears pay for all of my sin
And ask Him to pour his wrath on me
So my repentance would finally begin

Would you stand really close to me?
In my effort to change this corrupted world
This world that is me, you and all,
And all in the future yet unfurled
Would you dropp your guns and reject hate,
And breathe to forge a great new humanity
With peace to govern, love to unite,
Heaven above, and no human frailty
