Unfortunately, in the world around us, not everything goes as well as one might hope for it to. You will find that everybody is unhappy about something and seeks change along issues. This seems to be a constant thing because with so many differences in opinion and everybody having personal goals that often each and everyone has to battle for what they want. It made me wonder, what if people did get everything their way? This is a small poem I wrote on that very subject.
What If?
It's hard to stand up strong
Content with the feeling you are actually enjoying life
People would rather complain when things go awry
And say the whole day is bad after a minimal five seconds of strife
But I'd like to take a moment to think
What would happen?
What if everything we wanted took place?
Could you imagine?
What if racism was a thing of the past?
And life felt like less a struggle?
What if poverty could perish?
And our dreams were more attainable?
How much would we sacrifice to make a dream like this possible?
Would other needs falter?
Because no one would want to feel like lower?
Or would society somehow last?
And the past would just be before?
I wonder if the main question we'd need to ask is would we actually love our lives and live without doubt?
Or would we just find even more to complain about?
