If

Now that I have all of that out of my system, and all will be calm after Saturday, I have had a poem in the back of my head for a few weeks.  Cooking little by little, changing organically, basically having more and more of a meaning to me.  It's inspired by a poem If by Rudyard Kipling, yes the guy that wrote the Jungle Book, which is also a great book!  Reading that poem inspired all these thoughts, and I believe that is the true definition of inspiration, to breed new inspiration so inspiration never dies!  With that I give you If:

If...

If we all thought before we spoke would there be silence.

If we all know time is so valuable why do we waste so much of it.

If we know that happiness is choice then why do we choose the opposite.

If we see something wrong why are we scared to say something.

If we know what causes others pain why do we continue to do it.

If we know what hate creates then why do we still allow it to continue.

If we all know how powerful love is why is there so little of it.

If we know the world needs heroes why do we stop believing.

If we know we are winners in whatever we finish why do so many of us quit.

If we know the demons in our head are just figments why do we give in to their demands.

If we know its our job to take care of our world why do so many of us slack at it.

If we all know how bad wars are why do we let them begin.

If we know how hateful our words are why do we still say them.

If we know the truth why do we say the opposite,

If we all had a hand to hold.

A hug from a friend,

A kind hello.

A sincere smile.

The truth.

No Fear.

The world would be a better place.

Not just the world but our own personal world.

If we all know this is true.

Then why the hell haven't we done anything to change it!
