Making World a better place

What If...

You see not an animal,
But eyes carrying a mother's love,
You see not a bird,
But purity and gentleness of a Dove;

You touch not the body,
But penetrate through to the soul,
And act straight from the heart,
No one will play foul;

You kiss not the lips,
But embrace inner beauty,
You beg not the people,
But follow the deity;

You see not what is,
But see what is not seen,
You go not where roads are,
But wander where roads have never been;

You do not what everyone does,
But lay hands on what no one would ever touch,
You speak not words,
But exude magnanimity, and no one will hold a grudge;

The world's a mess,
There is absence of the relevant things,
The more want, it becomes less,
And we are all aware of the misery it brings;

But what if...

We could turn the world around,
Give it all the things it lacks,
Like rain drops falling to the ground,
We could change souls by the lakhs;

Restored peace, practiced humanity,
And gave love a chance,
Controlled rages and forgave easily,
All feet would break into a dance.
