If Only... by Hidentity(m): 1:06am On Sep 23, 2014 |
If only; if only kids know the roughs in adulthood They will pray and cry to be forever young If only; if only they know fingers are not equal They won’t ask father why they live in a hut If only; if only the impatient can learn from the moon He will know: that it took it a day to plan before it glows If only; if only the envious could look at the sky He will learn the splendor in the oneness of the stars If only; if only we sleep each night like we won’t wake And we embark on our journey hoping it is the last If only; if only we leave our homes like we won’t return We would have been fair to that neighbour we hate If only; if only we know the beauty in words It should have saved the world from many wars If only; if only we know that words pierce like a spear That injured soul we would have spared If only; if only we cherish the gorgeousness in humanity The poor and orphan would be given a chance If only; if only we treat nature with sanctity We would have paused to hear the message of the singing bird If only; if only you know the thought that prompted this Perhaps you could pause to interact with the breeze If only; if only we know many shall lie still tomorrow We would know the night may be our last… Hidentity is an African. |
