If only
everyone about to pull the trigger of a gun
imagined the shell hitting his own family
what a world
if only
everyone remembered how they loved
their teddy bears or dolls, asking nothing back from them
and lived like this for the rest of their lives
what a world
if only
we could keep the environment as clean and happy
as the seaside
what a world
if only
everyone who cut down a tree
planted a tree in its place
what a world
if only
you would add your own deepest hopes to this poem
and all your friends agreed
what a poem
what a world
If only friends hadn't invented the idea of 'enemies', what a world, Danny!
If only the Chinese hadn't discovered gunpowder Nobel hadn't made dynamite and all the World Wars were settled by a food fight using jelly
If only. I read somewhere once that IF was the biggest little word in the English language, and I think it must be true. IF only, and the world would be a better place.

If only... it would be a perfect world! I don't think I can live in a perfect world... But if only... for a few hours in a day, I would... Thank you, k
