For Better, For Worse



Try to imagine a different world
One where the Nazis won
Using missiles and atomic weapons
Or a world where slavery never ended
And the Confederacy proved vital
Able to somehow win a war
That they should have lost
Ask yourself this question
What would it have mattered
If certain events never happened
If people never opposed aggression
Or if wars of empire never occurred
Would the facts of the present day shatter
Or does fate somehow have its way?
Does destiny exist
Would all we know that is good
Never enter existence
If the enemies of hope
Were never faced with resistance?
What if?
