If

If? What if the life wasn't as it is, Would you wish that to be true? What if you got everything you need, Would you be happy in this time that's new? What if you got the girl of your dreams, Wouldn't you want something better again? What if your career's better than it seems, Wouldn't you still complain of what you gain? What if there were no politics, Wouldn't politicians have a different name? What if division was just a theory, Wouldn't your demand for piece be typically lame? What if there were no regulations? Would the world have a better order? What if there were no nations? Would you still need a controversial border? What if there were no religion, Wouldn't you be glad that we are all the same? What if we smiled at someone for no reason, Wouldn't you be glad when they ask you your name?

This poem reminds me of Kipling's poem, "If." Good job! Enjoyed your words.
