We live life based on what we surround ourselves with.

Imagine the world we would be surrounded by if society would find the courage to be themselves and not consumed by the chaotic hostility our reality tends to create; how marvelous would it be?

Women would not have to fight for rights

All races would see each other as living souls, not as terrorists, thieves, or liars.

We would live in a world of respect and love

Curiosity and pleasant surprises

We would live in a world we were meant to evolve in, spiritually, mentally and physically.

Our hate for change,

Our hate for things that are different,

Our political uproars,

Our continuity of greed and pride;

each stumps our spiritual growth.

We will constantly stumble on our own words, selfishly taking others for granted as we take credit for stolen work, ideas, beliefs,

and love.

We live our lives by 'what if' rather than living in the world that is going on now, right in front of our eyes.

We see the hate

We see the cruelty

We see the lines being drawn

so, when will we do something about it?

I applaud those who stand up for those who cannot

I applaud those who protect the weak from the power-heads

I applaud those who give the mute a chance to stand and rise against the prideful.

We tell ourselves that this is the world we live in, this being more of an excuse to disregard the violence and madness.

We are blind from reality due to our lack of actually living in it.

We partake in nothing but the falseness of our own making.

What if we lived in a world where people were seen as people?

What if we lived in a world where women were not criticized for having an opinion?

What if we lived in a world where people are okay with others not agreeing with their thoughts?

I sit here living my life by 'what if', wondering if the chaos will ever end.

I am no better than those I write about, how silly of me.
