Had I known

Had I known that love at first sight
Would cast me in an awful blight,
Had I known that it would collapse
Under the pressure of mishaps,
Had I known that different cultures
And unequal social structures
Would cherish animosity,
Prejudice and strong enmity,
Had I known that we couldn’t fight
The mountains of mistrust and doubt
That do keep both peoples apart
And deprive them from a new start,
Had I known that it would prove true
Whatever they said you will do,
Had I known that I shouldn’t hope
We would manage somehow to cope
With whatever problems we’d face
Due to this enigmatic case,
Had I known that one’s religion,
Color, race, birth and origion
Would become a big obstacle
Which only a great miracle
Could really mangae to subdue
So as to rescue me and you,
I shouldn’t have fallen for you,
Or I shouldn’t at least continue,
But because I love you so much,
I can’t do anything but clutch
To this unique relaionship
That does look like a ghostly ship.
