REGRET

What if tomorrow, you're walking down the roadside
hitching for a ride
and two old men stop by
to give you the dilly to philly
and a bullet to swallow on while you're picked up by some hillbilly?

What if tomorrow, you meet a man
and give him half your soul
and he uses the one and a half souls
to make love to some whore??

What if tomorrow, you go knockin on doors
to spread the word of Jesus?
Then ten years down the road
you end up homeless
because now you're an atheist
and you just slit your own throat.

What if tomorrow, Sgt Washington comes knockin your door
and asks you, "Son, you look strong, would you like to go?"
then eight months down the road
the president bombs a hole
and Uncle Sam sends you a letter saying,
"Soldier, war is coming, you have to go."

BUT, what if tomorrow, you realize, that tomorrow never dies
so what does it matter, what happens in an hour
if right now and here
you live with no fear
and let time unwrap itself, slowly, just for you...
