If things were not changing overtime

I would have not known the pains I have now,

And if fate was only too kind,

I could have been the best that I can

My plans were all too perfect,

No mistake ever comes to my mind

Erring would be the last thing I could do,

That is how I believed for so long.

But I was wrong..

If I only have all the money I need

No poor would meet me without being satisfied

No man, hungry and naked, would leave me unloved.

And if only I have all the wisdom

There will be no room for ignorance in the world

No man would have lived without knowledge

For I will share everything I have.

But now I doubt..

If only I have all the time in the world

I will live only doing goodness

I will see that all wrongs will be corrected

No misery could ever come to man

And if only I have all the powers wielded,

By monarchs and state principalities

No wars, no famine, no disputes

Will ever disturb peace among men

Justice will prevail in all places

Or, I could have been corrupted..

But now I have realized;

Life would be so dry if it were not changing

And I could be what I want if I only strive!

But at least now I know, I can be wrong.

I even believe;

I don’t really need to be rich just to help,

And that I can give knowledge, foolish as I am

Sure I am today, and proud of who I am;

With the humble dignity of an honest man

I don’t need to live forever or to stay even for long

Just to be of service to other people.

And that in all the smallest things I have

I can already be fair in all any dealings…

And my life would be enough!
