What If

What if...the world weren't broken And mankind loved each other No poison words were spoken And brother loved his brother What if...the wealth of Nations Was loosened from the greedy Prised from their groping fingers And shared among the needy What if...the Vaticans Secrets Were spilled among its minions Or the 'Churches Coffers' opened For the starving, in their millions What if...the sick and lonely The tortured and the lost Were first in line for 'charity' Regardless of the cost What if...King Solomons wisdom Was in every human being Would each of us gaze at their lives And wonder what they're seeing What if...the 'chains of bondage' Were swapped for 'chains of daisies' Would it really be that silly Would it really be that crazy What if...the childrens nursery rhymes Again, will come to pass Prophetic visions show themselves As mankind breathes its last What if...countries worked together Each caring for their people Uncoerced by each nation Misguided, sightless 'sheeple' What if...the well-stocked Bunkers Of our 'fearless world-wide leaders' Keep their worthless lives in 'trust' Each lowly bottom-feeder What if...a 'Christ' is Risen And walking in our midst Would we even notice He ever did exist What if...a Change of Heart Left us a love Eternal And Peace alone prevailed Not Hell on Earth, Infernal
