What Would The World Be Like?

If poets muse upon the sun as frequent as they gawk at the moon 

If there was a shooting star, every time a blossom opened and a tree sprung up for every child

When we don’t need rockets to hop between planets and stars

When energy came from our roofs and not deep underground 

If science isn’t a paradox anymore and religions open doors to brotherhood 

When we no longer have to give reason for a ‘no’, to end a conversation, a call or cancel a plan.

When personal space is respected as much as social distancing during a pandemic

When robots are just our assistants and not personal trackers 

When breeze flows every time a sweat drops or tear flows

When colours no longer mean anything but stay as mere reflections 

When prayers were not demands and Thanks and Sorry really meant

When sapiens stopped feeding the earth, all that she can’t consume

When survival wasn’t the concern , but living life to the fullest was

When food is grown at the reach of our hands and all we have to do is get some dirt on our knees

When hunger is forgotten and the only poor are the unimaginative 

When judgements are discarded and acceptance becomes universal

When money becomes obsolete and love opens doors

And ya, If life had a background music!

  6. To the boy who dwells in feasibilities of if and when
    As adorable as you write
    Let’s give a break to that overthinking mind
    Untangling this web of possibilities
    I sarcastically try to write.
    THEN
    Every baby born would be equally cherished
    The skies would be flooded with shooting stars
    The wizarding world is true!! Didn’t you get your letter?
    The terrace would be congested and look ugly too
    Science and religion won’t be at loggerheads and would conjure miracles methodically
    That would be an aesthetically abrupt reply nah!
    The population density of India is 457/km2 . FORGET BOTH!!
    The illusion of Privacy achieved!
    The wind would become partial to humidity and woman.
    All the bright and the dark would merge
    Better beings in becoming!! Heaven forbid!
    The earth would glow
    We would be harum- scarum .
    You would in reality reap all that you sowed
    The world would be a beautifully lazy place.
    There would be no crime committed or judgments passed.
    There would be no currency to trade.
    Our’s is a horribly mismatched one.
    Hope this helps !

    1. You did untangle his web of words to find the string of satire hidden.
      Those are beautiful words you have spun here.. This should go as a post on your blog! These words are magical... We can safely say that the wizarding world is true! And.. I did get my letter!! ;)
