0006 If only

If only
everyone about to pull the trigger of a gun
imagined the shell hitting his own family
what a world

if only
everyone remembered how they loved
their teddy bears or dolls, asking nothing back from them
and lived like this for the rest of their lives
what a world

if only
we could keep the environment as clean and happy
as the seaside
what a world

if only
everyone who cut down a tree
planted a tree in its place
what a world

if only
you would add your own deepest hopes to this poem
and all your friends agreed
what a poem
what a world
