What If

One of my early poems, included in my first collection of poetry Reflections on Life…

What if for a moment,

We put all our

prejudices aside,

And lived in harmony,

And found peace?

What if we looked

at the beauty around us,

And started

counting our blessings more,

And didn’t focus on

all the bad in the world?

What if we saw a hungry child,

And offered a bite to eat,

Wouldn’t this child,

Be better for it,

Wouldn’t we?

What if we listened to the

beautiful songs,

More closely,

And stopped listening

to the filth,

Wouldn’t we better

tell beauty,

From filth?
