Imagine Poem by Matshona Dhliwayo

"I can imagine a world without books,
but I can't imagine a world without education.
I can imagine a world without degrees,
but I can't imagine a world without talent.
I can imagine a world without fame,
but I can't imagine a world without honor.
I can imagine a world without awards,
but I can't imagine a world without excellence.

I can imagine a world without pleasure,
but I can't imagine a world without joy.
I can imagine a world without amusement,
but I can't imagine a world without peace.
I can imagine a world without comfort,
but I can't imagine a world without fulfillment.
I can imagine a world without excitement,
but I can't imagine a world without satisfaction.

I can imagine a world without governments,
but I can't imagine a world without justice.
I can imagine a world without unity,
but I can't imagine a world without equality.
I can imagine a world without morals,
but I can't imagine a world without freedom.
I can imagine a world without religion,
but I can't imagine a world without love.

I can imagine a world without answers,
but I can't imagine a world without questions.
I can imagine a world without discoveries,
but I can't imagine a world without mysteries.
I can imagine a world without ideas,
but I can't imagine a world without truth.
I can imagine a world without professors,
but I can't imagine a world without masters.

I can imagine a world without sound,
but I can't imagine a world without movement.
I can imagine a world without order,
but I can't imagine a world without harmony.
I can imagine a world without chance,
but I can't imagine a world without fate.
I can imagine a world without life,
but I can't imagine a world without purpose.

I can imagine a world without matter,
but I can't imagine a world without energy.
I can imagine a world without momentum,
but I can't imagine a world without activity.
I can imagine a world without air,
but I can't imagine a world without space.
I can imagine a world without nature,
but I can't imagine a world without God."
― Matshona Dhliwayo
