Have you wondered what life would be like if everything was reversed? Hmmm lets take a look….

What would it be like to switch our right and left shoe?

What if the sky was green and the grass was blue?

What if the universe was Earth and our world was called Space?

Does that mean aliens live here with no trace of human race?

How about if we read from the right to the left

And the meaning of blind was defined as deaf

If our world was like this, would we be confused and ask how?

Writing this same exact poem but mind painting our world now

What if everything was perfect, no disasters and no crime

And when you made a mistake, you could turn back time

What if music was called games and what you heard was called playing

Fire was ice cold, and ice was hot blazing

What if the number two really meant zero, none

And the end of a story was where it really begun

Would everyone be scared to live in this world for a day?

Probably, besides we’ve only seen one way

What if a King was called Queen and a Queen was called King

And when you were full really meant you were starving

Planes don’t fly here, here they sail and ship

Its’ like going back in time and seeing the world has flipped

Now that I altered your perception and got your mind all curled

You just took a look at “An Opposite World”

    Wouldn’t things be so crazy if everything were opposite from what we know now. Some things would be easy to adjust to, but others would be unbelievable. This poem left me thinking…

    If people really could turn back time every time they made a mistake do you think they would? or even should? Very interesting points you bring up in this poem! <3
