I Think I Won the Lottery

This poem is a list of questions
And in your head while you're reading
make sure that you answer
cause that's the purpose of questions.

If you were to win the lottery
Would you tell your friends and family?
You'd jump and laugh and shout?
Cause wouldn't it be exciting to win a lottery?

And if you found $20 in your pocket
Wouldn't you tell the random beside you?
Or the friend at the other end of the phone?
Cause you never expect money in your pocket.
(I don't anyways)

And if you had a nice car in your driveway
I bet you'd drive it so others could see
And wouldn't you drive it with all your friends?
Cause it's special, and cool, and expensive.

And if you conquered a fear
Would you tell the world?
And wouldn't you tell your secret too?
Cause then others could conquer theirs.

And if you believed in God
And He's the Lord of your life
And He's worth the world
And you find Him where you never expect Him
And He's special, and costs your life
And allows you to conquer death
Would you tell your friends and family and randoms and everyone?
Does anything else really matter?
