If only there was only wellness:
No babies born with deformities orย ย illness.

If only all people could live in peace:
No anger for "your land" or only "my beliefs".

If only horrendous weather did not ****:
No floods, hurricanes, tornadoes or fires.

If only there were food enough for all:
No hunger, starvation, no crop demise.

If only real charity lived in every heart:
No scramble for the "more" that pulls us apart.

If only cruelty found no source to hurt:
No knives, guns, or bombs allowed on Earth.

If only there were no need for prisons:
No reason to cheat, steal, or ****.

If only there were a great and all- powerful god
Who made the universes large and small,
Who gave birth to life, who created it all,
A god who never created such despair,
Who, in wisdom, left out all horrors everywhere,
THISย ย god would be the one I'd put my belief in!
If only, if only.
