What If

Tonna Pugh 1981 (Maryland)



What If,

what if you can turn back the hands of time.
Would the choices you chose today would it be the same, or would you re-write the script.

What if,

what if  love never hurt,
what if it was empowering and nurturing,
passionate and intimacy was not just physical touch.
What if love was mental stimulation.

What if,

What if love was a force and we really learn and experience one another to understand each other not to just reply.

What if,

what if violence never existed
And humans were generally genuine and harmless towards each other with no violence.

What if their was no poverty,
And we can eat and not starve.
What if we can finally afford and consume products they could not afford.

What if,

What if we were enriched with integrity without judgment.
We are truly being honest and having strong moral principals.
We Behave ethically and does the right thing even behind closed doors.
What if we can really trust again.

What if,

What if our children were really safe,
Free at mind and in there vulnerability.
What if the cruelty in consumption of this world didn't consume our children with drugs and guns.
What if they were never in danger, harms way.

What if,

Could we really normalize unity?
Could we stand together with love?
could we collaborate without jealousy, envy?
Could we love authentically with pure intent?

What if we could really live life wealthy, without hardship, penalties, stress-free.
What if.
