A low gentle voice speaks peace
The loud voice speaks inspiration to the feeble of
hearts.
What if you never said a thing, nor ever effected a
change you so desired?
What if your kids would have had that better life you
wished if only you said something? If only you shouted when you saw evil being
done.
What if your society just only needed your innocent
wisdom to become envy to all? ...but you said nothing.
What if that mishap would have been prevented if only you
told him about his bad tyres, if only you held her hand as she crossed the
tarred road?
What if all your wife needed was that word of
encouragement to feel and confirm you still loved her?
What if that man just needed your smile to show that the
world still cares about him, keeping him from committing suicide?
Just think about it...
What if that little girl’s fate depended on your decent
dressing?
What if all that was left was to say 'I'm sorry, I never
meant any harm'?
What if you just listened to your heart and paid more
attention to your instincts?
What if you forgave yourself for anything that has
happened in the past just to make progress in life?
What if you were that homeless beggar under the bridge?
What would you have loved to change? How would you have loved to be treated?
What if the change your nation needed was dependent on
each one of you to speak up? To be united in words and in deeds? To be patient
with each other and protective of your neighbour?
What if we broke the norm of being afraid and expressed
with wisdom, our opinion on any issue? Would that kill you?
What if I told you 20 years from now, you'll regret the
things you didn't do than the things you did?
What if we decide here and now to speak!
The future is here!
What if... Oh! What if?!

What if - by speaking out and we were wrong, very wrong - we changed the future of our nation to its detriment and all that of its inhabitants?
ReplyDeleteWe can never know the outcome of a single word uttered - the butterfly effect. What if we could!
Excellent post.
