If (Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

If only heavy guns, missiles and rockets cease,
the plague from China and its impact ease

if only the far-left socialist totalitarian ideal
to control and every liberty away to steal

will be exposed to its very corrupt core,
with the will of democracy in its essence to restore

no fear or inhumanity we would see,
what a better and happier place the world would be

but it's as if everything is under a satanic spell,
as if man has destined the earth to be a place of hell.
