Can You Imagine
A poem about life
Can you imagine what it’s like to be
A dog that can’t scratch those nasty fleas
Or a boy who can’t climb that old Hickory tree
Can you imagine what it’s like to beCan you imagine what it was like back when
You had to dip your fountain pen
Just to send a few words to an old friend
Or to write in your diary at days end
Can you imagine what it was like back thenCan you imagine what the future will be
When there are no forests and there are no more bees
When the sky’s always cloudy with nothing to see
When you wish you were back in history
When the air was clean and you could feel the breeze
Can you imagine what the future will beCan you imagine a moment when nothing is there
When you haven’t a worry when you haven’t a care
When you can’t hear a sound not the drop of a pin
When you can’t remember where you have been
When there’s no such thing as the human race
When all around you is just empty space
Can you imagine what it was like to be?
