What If

What If... The soldiers of the world All at the very same time Laid down their mighty weapons And refused to fight Walked off of the killing fields To make their way back home As the world stood by and watched Would we then all get along What If... Those who preached of hate Suddenly shut their mouths Turning from the hatred in their hearts To find what true love is all about Would it make a difference In how you loved those around Would it make a difference In how you loved yourself What If... All the leaders of the world Came together for one day Locked themselves inside a room With their adviser's out of the way Could they see each other with value And become the best of friends Seeing it's not just a country after all But a world that we live in What If...

Sadly Mike, I think the answer is no to all three. I could be wrong but knowing human nature, I doubt it. Very thought provoking write. It also shows how gentle your spirit is:)
