Rebirth

If I said my desire  

Is to go back in time,  

Like an artist with an eraser,  

So I can erase my errors  

And re-sketch it better,  

To clear away my mistakes  

Like they never were,  

And reset my moment to zero,  

Would you say it is fair?

If I said my wish  

Is to wake up one noon  

And see father  

Walking out the door, tenderly,  

With a grimace on his face  

That he pities me, vastly,  

'Cause smoothly into slumber I decline,  

Do you think my dreams ever again  

Will I incline?

If I said my dream  

Is to die and live all again,  

Like a rebirth,  

Living my life from the genesis,  

But this time with a conscience  

And without remorse stuck  

With me like ileke idi,  

Would I let go of an odd as this?  

Would I ever let it flee?
