If
If we believe it it will grow
If we deceive it it will know
If we obey it it will spill
If we play it it will kill
If we shake it it will explode
If we take it it will implode
If we name it it will conspire
If we aim it it will fire
If we announce it it will play
If we pronounce it it will stay
If we fight it it will defend
If we right it it will pretend
If we stroke it it will sigh
If we choke it it will die
If we deceive it it will know
If we obey it it will spill
If we play it it will kill
If we shake it it will explode
If we take it it will implode
If we name it it will conspire
If we aim it it will fire
If we announce it it will play
If we pronounce it it will stay
If we fight it it will defend
If we right it it will pretend
If we stroke it it will sigh
If we choke it it will die

All those "ifs", or, should I say, this one little "if" and its object, that other little "it"... Whatever we do to it, it will react accordingly... I wonder, what would happen if we would leave it alone... But, we can't... Very clever riddle.
