Nowadays, everything in the world seems so wrong. A woman got raped, there were parents who abused their child, unending negative issues in the government, terrible accidents that had happened, inhuman acts and cruelty - these were some of the nauseating news that we often hear everyday. Added to these were the sins and mistakes that contribute to the disagreeable world.

| A representation of world peace. |
I just realized that the essence of peace and order was lacking here in earth. However, I also believed that there would be a perfect time that we could finally be free to all these issues and dramas in life, and peace would be the key to that. How could we achieved peace and order, anyway? As I was trying to find the answer to this question, I remembered the poem that I made in one of our subjects last semester. Let me share the poem:
If only … Therefore …
If only Eve never ate the apple from
the Tree of Knowledge,
There would have been no right nor
wrong
Therefore, there would be no sinners.
If only history showed no record of
wars,
‘History repeats itself’ would have always been
positive
Therefore, there would be freedom
from strife.
If only some politicians were not
corrupt,
There would have been no ‘pork
barrel’
Therefore, our country would be at
ease.
If only citizens would obey the laws,
The police would never
be seen
Therefore, we would achieve
peace and order.
If only adults would be like
children,
Everyone would be innocent,
Therefore, there would be no
explanation of things.
If only teenagers were responsible
enough,
They would think twice before making
decisions
Therefore, they would be in the right
way.
If only people would read 1
Corinthians 13: 4-8,
They would understand what love is
Therefore, everyone would be in love
and would always be.
If only people would learn how to
listen,
There would be no misunderstanding
Therefore, we would all live in harmony.
If only everyone would be honest,
There would be no liars
Therefore, trusting would be easy.
If only people would stop complaining
And start doing their part
Therefore, there would be
tranquility.
If only people would be sensitive
enough,
They would become aware
Therefore, they would care.
If only you knew how to say “Sorry”,
Wrong deeds would have been forgotten
Therefore, you would have been
forgiven.
If only you knew how to say “Thank
you”,
Small things would have been
appreciated
Therefore, everyone would have said
“You’re welcome!”
If only you would seize the day,
You would be satisfied with your life
Therefore, you would be ready to be
in your deathbed.
If only everyone would read the
Bible,
And make it their food for living
Therefore, everyone would feel that
they are blessed.
And if only people would trust the
words of God
We would never worry; instead we
would be still
Therefore, there would be peace in
our hearts.
Did the poem made sense to you? I hope so. And I also hope that this would make sense to others.
We could still change for something pleasant. We should not only be good, as a Christian and citizen in our country, we should also be nice. Another thing was that the world was supposed to be enjoyed. We could make it to something peaceful. And I was really praying for that. (Sigh.)
