Lovely writing by my great long time friend~~one that I cherish and adore~~he has such a gift for writing~~
WHAT IF...
There weren’t anymore wars
Soldiers were at home when they slept.
Politicians never spoke a lie
Or made promises they actually kept.
WHAT IF
Families actually had conversations
Mom and dads stayed together as one.
Children were raised with values
Never separated or had to feel alone.
WHAT IF
Neighbors actually spoke to each other
Lent a helping hand and had a blast.
All hospital were near empty
Cancer was spoken of as in the past.
WHAT IF
There was no such thing as drugs
No homeless people enduring each day.
Crime rate and sexually committed diseases
Had no place in society today.
WHAT IF
Everyone sadly sat with tears
Their heads hung down in shame.
Knowing there are no WHAT IF’S
For reality is true, it is no game.
