More

What if somehow the Universe changed over night
suddenly causing the only sounds possible to be truth –
How silent would this world be?
TV Silenced,
Politicians Silenced,
Teachers and Professors Silenced –
The sound of that silence hauntingly deafening!

Shattering a consciousness shared for hundreds if not thousands of years.
What if suddenly only thoughts of goodness,
wholesome innocent thoughts were all this world could think?
Our silence would be trampled by the youthful exuberance of laughter
as the ills of centuries past would be corrected in our new reality:
What if we could choose?

Oh yeah we can –
But don’t –
So poets dream and artists create,
workers work and haters hate,
this is the Universe?
We are its highest form?
