What if?
What if you awoke and were born anew?
What if bright colours beguiled and seduced you?
What if your motivation was peace and tranquillity?
What if a voice of anger felt like absurdity?
What if you simply said: hello?
What if you smiled and expelled a glow?
What if you suppressed the word: no?
What if there would be no tomorrow?
What if a stranger embraced you tight?
What if they said – I see your light?
What if your ego and greed disappeared?
What if nature had no reason to fear?
What if religion and guns were no more?
What if that would compel wars obscure?
What if you treasured your neighbour like our dog?
What if you could have open and honest dialogues?
What if you had the prowess for change?
What if your actions could affect long-range?
What if you lead your own revolution?
What if you inspired by your contribution?
What if today‘s stay was your last?
What if all you had was the past?
What if you were felt in your absence?
What if your legacy was to make a difference?
What if?
