Imagine the world as a basketball,

being passed around the sun.

Imagine every time someone on earth kills another man,

the ball becomes a smaller ball.

Imagine how small

the ball would become.

Imagine how hard it would be to keep the ball

in sync.


The ball will fly into space.

Imagine where this world may be

if killing does not stop.
