If I were not born
If you were not born
If we hadn’t met
If we hadn’t fallen in love
If I hadn’t proposed and you hadn’t accepted
If we hadn’t married
If we hadn’t borne children
If they hadn’t grown up and started the cycle again
Would the world have been a better place?
If the Industrial Revolution hadn’t happened
If trees hadn’t been cut down
If water sources hadn’t been contaminated
If air hadn’t been polluted
If factories hadn’t dumped waste into nature
If vehicles hadn’t spewed harmful emissions
If forests hadn’t been cleared for cities and towns
If natural resources hadn’t been exploited
Would the world have been a better place?
If World War I and II hadn’t raged
If Hitler hadn’t tortured and killed the Jews
If Japan hadn’t attacked Pearl Harbor
If America hadn’t bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki
If Hamas hadn’t attacked, maimed, raped, and killed Israelis
If Israel hadn’t struck back at Gaza and beyond
Would the world have been a better place?
