I M A G I N E

Imagine if everyone smiled at one another

As they would a baby in the arms of his mother

Imagine if cost was not consequential

Imagine if racism meant to love unconditionally, equally

Imagine if fear was just a word less used
Instead of a word abused

Imagine if your heart only ached with love
And never harbored repugnance

Imagine if selfishness
Wasn’t self righteous, but benevolent

Imagine if billboards and advertisements didn’t falsify happiness

Imagine all imaginable,

War would not exist….

  1. I enjoy the contrast; I find balance somewhere in between by imagining the heart only aching with love to be unleashed and increased - great write xoxo
