Positive

What if there was no such 
thing as negativity.?
Only positive emotions
could float in the air so free.

What if hatred did not exist
and we could only smile?
What if laughter replaced
all that is hostile.?

What if peace was all we
tried to strive for?
What if comradery was 
the center core?

What if empathy was
felt in every soul?
Helping others was the
only thing to make you whole.

If walking in another's shoes
was easy to understand.
If sympathizing with them
was needed to help them stand. 

What if?
