What Might Have Been .
Might I have been eye-sight blind ,
Might I have been blind from within ,
Might I could see yellow in green .
Might there be no conscience to judge ,
Might there run beguile and buzz ,
Might there pervade only skinny touch .
Might there be women only sex-appetite ,
Might the old-men occupy innocence bride ,
Might the wedlock be,- give and take ,
Might there be faces of painted fakes .
Might the religions be exploitation ,
Might the politics stand for aggression ,
Might there be ,-might is right, motion .
Might there be snake , wolf , scorpion ,
Might they go rampant in human brain ,
Might the civilization sojourn in b*st**l train .
