Lesser world

So many people think today,
That without them the world would be a lesser place.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not.
I'm not the one to tell you what's what.

It might be true that without you,
There would be a lesser world.
But what would this world lose,
If it happened to be without you?

Would there be lesser greed?
Lesser pain,
Lesser sorrow,
Lesser blood spilled?

Is that what you want?
To know that without you,
This world might be a better place?
I'm not the one to tell you what's what.

It might be true that without you,
There would be a lesser world.
But what would this world lose,
If it happend to be without you?

Might there be lesser relief?
Lesser happiness,
Lesser joy,
Lesser laughter?

What do you want this world to lose,
If it happened to be without you.
Better or worse, it's all up to you.
I'm not the one to tell you what's what.

If you are one of the many people,
Who thinks that without them, there would be loss.
What kind of loss do you think that might be?
And what kind of lesser world would this be?
