How Would it Be?

How vacant the palace would be,
Without a queen?

How nasty the mind would be,
Without conscience?

How worst the politico would be,
Without policy?

How one-sided the parliament would be,
Without an opposition?

How boring a poem would be,
Without lies?

How horrible the society would be,
Without elders?

How awful the earth would be,
Without children?

How empty this place would be,
Without scholars?

How lonely this land would be,
Without girls?

How bare this area would be,
Without trees?

How dull this world would be,
Without music?

How disgusting this region would be,
Without art?

How lifeless this globe would be,
Without humor?
