What if, on a new day,

people forgot their differences and learned to coexist?

What if weapons were replaced by dialogue and people held hands?

What if, on a new day,

all the children in the world could play in the streets again

and the sounds outside were celebrations, not bombs?

What if, countries didn’t try to expand their borders

and extinguish the weaker ones,

as if they were enemies?

What if, borders didn’t exist,

and the entire earth belonged to a brotherhood,

a human brotherhood?

What if, on a new day,

cultures met and celebrated existence,

not any supposed superiority?

If black, white, yellow, green, and red joined hands

and learned from other cultures?

What if, on a new day,

there were no disputes or exploitation

and everyone was committed to respecting

the green of the Earth and the blue of the skies?

How would it be…

How would it be if,

starting from a new day…

humans forgot hatred and forgave?

The Earth, Yes,

the whole world would live in Peace
