if there are planets
if there are stars
if there are tenets
why is heaven so far
so many lonely girls
watching the moon twirl
so many lonely boys
staring up at red Mars
why can't there be endless joy
why can't real love have a voice
when humankind awoke
did the galaxies rejoice
did love exist or was it mere violence
what if the Universe wasn't evoked
what if God broke that eternal silence
what if God once again spoke
