IMAGINE IF JUST FOR A MOMENT

 

Imagine if just for a moment

The universe was balanced and calm

And every troubled country on this earth

Laid down its weapons and arms

 

Imagine if just for a moment

Enemies put war to an end

Crossed the barriers

Embraced each other and said

“From today onwards you will be my friend”

 

Imagine if just for a moment

Diseases were simple to cure

And illnesses like Hiv/Aids, TB and cancer

Would be eradicated

And cease to be anymore

 

Imagine if just for a moment

We felt the loss when a stranger died

And even though we didn’t know their name

We still cared enough to cry

 

Imagine if just for a moment

Poverty and hunger did not exist

And everyone shared as much as they could

And said, “I absolutely insist”

 

Imagine if just for a moment

Children could play outside without fear

Knowing that while they explored

And discovered new things

There was no evil lurking near

 

Imagine if just for a moment

Woman weren’t violated or abused

And words such as “human trafficking”

 “Assault” and “rape”

Were removed from the dictionary

Because they were simply no longer used

 

Imagine if just for a moment

There were no animals on the endangered list

And the species that have now become extinct

To this very day would still exist

 

Imagine then just imagine

How balanced our universe would be

Because everything and everyone

Lived in perfect harmony

 

If only the imagination

Could make this dream a reality

Then this world that we all live in

Would be a happier place

For every single one of us to be
