IF Only.....

'If only', 'If only' the words do repeat,
And tears do roll as a downpour of sleet,
And thoughts do flow as a cascade,
As though a deer on an empty glade.

If only, man did ever try to remember,
And look into every historical ember,
And realize how on Earth did walk many a Fay,
While today how crooked is his way.

If only, ever he does try to uproot,
Wickedly thoughts when as though a shoot.
If only, withstand he can every gale,
Protect his mind from turning stale.

If only, his voice he could raise on unjust,
And control his senses, control his lust.
What a pleasure it would be to live,
More sweet to love and give.

If only, the 'Messiah' wasn't crucified,
By Ignorant people filled with pride,
An ocean of love would have spread,
If only a saint was not shot dead.

If only for once man does realize, his own vice,
And opens his eyes, to shatter these skies
Of darkness hidden in his heart deep inside,
No disparities shall be of religion, caste or hide.

If only, he sees that no 'she' does wail,
And realize that a 'she' is not a female,
The world would really seem,
An extravagantly lovely dream.

Alas, If only I could console,
My unfulfilled dreams and my soul.
If only, the world was much better a place,
A poem I would write much filled with grace!!
