What If... Poem by Mohamed Mustapha

what if... the world weren't broken
And mankind loved each other
No poison words were spoken
And brother loved his brother

What if... the wealth of nations
was taken from the greedy
Plucked from their gripping fingers
And shared among the needy

What if... the Vatican's secrets
Were spilled among it's minions
Or the 'churches coffers' opened
For the starving in their millions

What if... the sick and lonely
The tortured and the lost
Were first in line for charity
Regardless of the cost

What if... the 'chains of bondage'
Were swapped for'chains of daisies'
Would it really be that silly
Would it really be that crazy

What if... the well stocked bunkers
Of 'fearless world-wide leaders'
Keep their very own lives in 'trust'
Each lowly bottom-feeder

What if... countries worked together
Each caring for their people
Uninvaded by a nation
Misguided, sightless 'sheeple'

What if... king Solomon's wisdom
Was shared with every human being
Would each of us gaze at their lives
And wonder what they're seeing

What if... we all help save the planet
As the Ozone keeps depleting fast
Each embracing sustainable living
As mankind breathes it's last
