If.

If you cannot share your emotion,

If you cannot share in emotion,

If you cannot express your affection,

And be seen to endure affliction,

If you cannot say your idea,

If you have to be “from this area”,

If your honesty does not matter,

And the truth does not matter,

If your falsities have you excused,

If the lie has you excused,

If your coins buy you happiness,

And living by the standards of your peers is your business,

If every light that shines brighter than yours you smother,

If to improve your neighbour’s life you do not bother,

If you are not inspired by another,

And if you do not think we are in this together,

Then I am curious to learn, what is life all about?
