If Poem by John Sensele

If solstices of prejudice and injustice could evaporate
If surgeons of religion strove to unite God's people
If the substance of tolerance could rate high and penetrate
The thick skin of malice, growth opportunities would become ample.

If people received wisdom and perceived unity as a priority
If people taught humility and sought to heal the vulnerable
If wisdom invaded hearts and olive branches pervaded every city
Recrimination and discrimination would become deplorable.

If parents booked slots and took lectures in starting a family
If strings of offspring showed more prudence and obedience
If examination shoddy practices and malpractices became silly
No charlatans would produce and sell fake papers in Science.

If peace, kiss, bliss and harmony reigned supreme
If extremism and fanaticism died a natural death
If goodwill and a bill of good health worked in tandem
Progress and success would occupy every acre on Earth.
