I Wonder
I wonder. if the world was bigger, would the hearts be as well?
I ponder. if we were told that beauty was irrelevant, would it be?
I dream. if weapons were never made, would lives be saved?
I fear. if the good was taken, would there be nothing left?
I hope. if the pain was taken, would there be anything left?
I pray. if the children were taught to believe, could they forever?
I imagine. if speech was stolen, would the eyes learn to talk?
I protest. if we have no equality, do we have any strength?
I demand. if you are so wise, where is your courage?
I am blessed. for if the world were to end, the tears would never.
