What If
What if the world
Should stop it tracks
Would anyone stop
To find out the facts
Should the stars not shine
The night sky be black
All would look
Wondering when they're coming back
With the flowers left bare
Losing all of their fragrance
With nothing to fill
The loss of innocence
What if the world
Should be void of care
Then we would remember
The world should better share
About this poem
A look at the world around us.
