What If There Was No America

What if there was no America?
What if there was no, no flag?
No borders
No leadership
No Americans
No North
No South
No East
No West
No democracy
No Constitution
No Senate
No Congress
No states
No cities
Nothing

What if there was no America?
Gone
No longer relevant
Not even a memory
Would the rest of the world stop speaking English ?
Eventually
Revert to their native tongue

What if
What if we didn’t have a word for hate?
What if we didn’t have a word for justice?
What if we didn’t have a word for you?
A word for me?
A word for us?
A word for them?
A word for they?
For my, yours, ours?
What if we didn’t have a mouth, ears or eyes?
What if we didn’t have words at all?
The tongue can cut sharper than any blade
The eyes can cut deeper than any knife
A thought can be the beginning
Or the end
Of a life
So
What if there was no America?
