Ponderings at the walls of spirit and humanity

If only you could see how fragile life is: A life of someone of no relation to you
If only you would see the way people suffer at the hands of others, and what it does to them in the long run
If only you comprehended what it's like to feel so trapped that you see nothing but darkness in daylight
If only you realized how much it infuriates me to see and hear people whine about what they don't have
If only those who whine about what they don't have could see that they have everything most people don't
If only we would take the few spare seconds to change our emotion from "Fuck you" to "Hello"
If only we would learn to reach out to more people in this world commonly known as 'strangers'
If only our hearts could relate to the hearts of others, even if it's just to see just how heavy the hearts of others sometimes are
If only our souls had the ability to heal someone who is suffering and not care about a reward
If only our minds could better learn to think, then think some more, then think a little more beyond that
If only I could show people, without causing undue pain or fear, what all goes through my head in a day
If only I could help others see just how good they've got it
If only I could prove to people who try and say they know how good they've got it that they have no clue
If only this world could stop being so incredibly cold
If only this world could stop using religion as a crutch and think for themselves what's right and/or wrong
If only this world could truly understand that it's not a crime to help others
If only some would recognize that everyone, even the disabled, deserves to be happy
If only some would get through their heads that us humans didn't ask to be born
If only some would see through lenses other than their own
If only the powers that be would realize, once and for all, that mental illness is the new society's child
If only the powers that be would help to turn society's child back into everyday folks
If only the powers that be would grasp that money should not be the final answer to moral issues
If only 'that god' had ever heard or answered one prayer from me, ever, about anything or anyone
If only 'that god' understood why I believe none of it
If only 'that god' could receive a visit from the same spirits I have and be haunted by those same voices
If only........
