Hypothetical Happiness
Rules this world
In various ways
From the bottom up
To the top down
If only
If only the Billionaires
Would pay more taxes
If only
If only the oppressed
Would give up their plight
If only
If only the Billionaires
Could make more money
If only
If only the indigent
Could save more money
If only
Guns were outlawed
Abortions were outlawed
Everyone loved their country
The rest stayed in their’s
The temperature was just right
Their car was faster
The other car was slower
Prices stayed low
Education was free
Liers didn’t lie
Cheaters didn’t cheat
Laws did not apply to everyone
Laws did apply to everyone
Resources were unlimited
Everyone believed in the same God
Everyone didn’t believe in any God
If only I could make a point
Without some long abstraction
Of words manifesting in my mind
Presented in pixelated print
To a small yet greatly appreciated audience
That makes sense on the first read
Then and only then I’d be happy
Just kidding, I’m doing fine
I’m happy I have family that loves me
That I have family to love
