If the world could look Into a mirror We'd be in a better place Instead of here.
But people are dumb Dumber than you and me Their heads so far up their *** They can't even see.
If the world could hear The cries from below Below the riches and materials Then maybe they'd know.
But people are deaf Too deaf for you and me No matter how loud we shout This is how it'll always be.
If the world could care There would be peace and love There would be no pushing And no one would shove.
But people are bitter Too bitter for you and me Their face in a grimace No one deserves to see.
The world isn't perfect The world isn't pure The world isn't mine The world isn't yours The world has a future You and I can change We'll be the beginning Of a new chapter's page.
I had no idea, but after I had written this and titled it originally as "If" my friend referred me to a poem written by Rudyard Kipling called "If", I have to say I was simply amazed by it. I've been getting my inspiration from politics lately, and the world around us...we'll see how long this goes on for.
