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
