A World Without People
Can You Only Imagine?
The other day my eight-year-old son asked me the following questions. What would the world be like without people? I want to say he asked that question because I am sort of an old Beatles fan. You see I was listening to the song I can only imagine singing the words out loud. The other reason he asked that question was I did something I do not do that often I forgot to change the channel and the daily news report was playing.
So, these are the things I said to him.
Son, the sun that shines through your window will still rise every morning and the sun will set every night.
The night sky you see before bedtime will be followed by the morning day.
The ocean waves you like to play in will continue to be. The rivers will still flow towards the sea.
The morning birds you like to listen to will still sing their songs for you.
There will be no polluted water in our oceans, rivers, and seas.
There will be no Climate change to worry about.
There will be no landfills full of trash.
There will be no wars to be fought.
There will be no rich versus poor people.
There will be no prejudice in the world.
My son all these things I have said exist because of people in the world today. You must remember the world existed before us and it will exist once we are gone.
The world can be a beautiful place with or without people. This is why I see the song.
