    I enjoyed the simple rhyme scheme you had throughout the whole poem except this line.

    "What if superheros kept us safe?
    Would all our problems just go away?"

    ^the no rhyming here threw off the flow for me.

    Other then that great job.

    we won't be happy

    we will look 4 troubles

    Okay, I'll start with the negatives;

    I think that the simplicity you were going for worked, although i can't help but feel it's a little...too simple. I couldn't help but feel that the rhyme scheme AABB- that's great, but i think your lines were TOO short to carry off this rhyme scheme.

    Even if you editted it slightly to make it just that bit longer for example;

    What if the stars fell from the sky?
    Would people wish to never die?

    ==>

    What if those glistening stars fell from the sky?
    Would people, here on earth, wish to never die? .
    You see my point? you only have to add a few words and it makes a big difference.

    Anyway, on to the positives;
    ----------------------------------------------

    I love the repitition of "what if" at the beginning and end of the poem, I think it has a really good effect on the poem, and breaks up the simpleness of it slightly.

    I like that this poem probably represents what the average person actually thinks. Everyone sits and comtemplates these things, everyone sits and thinks those "what ifs". And i think you really reflected the questions that everyone ponders at some point.

    I love the end stanza; and the end line

    "what would that mean for me and you".

    Everyone has someone that you think that about.

    5/5 still, as the negatives didn't over-weigh the positives =)
