If Only

If only they thought of everyone

Not just themselves

Think about it

Millions of people

Saved 

What about the people who can’t help themselves

They need a strong stable government that is inclusive to everyone

We all need that

But do we all have that?

 

If only they paused

Asked what people needed

Considered everyone’s needs

Eight billion people 

Acknowledged

It’s time to change

If only they would

But I will.

  • Time Machine

    I like the pace of time. I think that life tends to move on on just the right cadence, and if I had a Time Machine I would use it to lock time at its current pace.

  • A lock without a key

    Cold, bitten, waiting at the door

    Rain like the universe’s tears streaming down his cheeks

    He knows rejection—it's known him from the start

    You see, forgiveness is his revenge on himself

    Mountains like monuments waiting

  • bricks

    And so he sat there

    Engulfed in the presence of time

    And realized that his path was carved out for him

    Awaiting footsteps

    Begging for mistakes

    If only he were to begin his journey
