What if We Had More Love?


What if we loved more in our actions as we do with our mouths?
What if we endured more for the sake of love? What if we loved ourselves so much that we would understand what it meant to truly love another? 


What if we understood each other without words? What if we cared enough for the human next door? What if we cared enough about the human who would  be here when that your generation is gone? 
What if we stopped a minute to actually think about the repercussions of our actions, our words, our proclivities.... the inadequacies we are so comfortable with? 


What if we cultivated the atmosphere of perpetual cognitive dissonance, if that would be the only fuel to our lifelong desire for change, for growth, for betterment?
What if we chose every minute to think, to empower, to nurture and to inspire?


What if we loved our neighbours as we loved ourselves?



What if we had more love? 

Would we still hate the way we do? 
Destroy the way we do? 
Maim the way we do?
 Kill the way we do? 

Would we still live in a world where the greatest enemy to fear  is man?
 Would we still glory in the misfortune of others? 
Would we still pull back the one trying to make it out of their comfort zone? Would we still have the temerity to play judge and jury all in one breath?

What if we had more love?
