A Plus For Minus

A plus for minus 
Too many plus of ignorance 
Is equal to 
Too many minus of justice 

Too many plus of wars 
Is equal to 
Too many minus of 
Innocent souls 

Too many plus of isolation 
Is equal to 
Too many minus of peace 

Too many plus of hatred
Is equal to 
Too many minus of love 

Too many plus of human 
Devaluation 
Is equal to too many 
Shadows of slaves

Too many plus of manipulation 
Is equal to 
Too many minus of 
Common sense 

Too many plus of exploitation 
In africa is equal to 
Too many minus of 
The existence of basic needs

Too many plus of policticians
Is equal to 
Too many minus 
Of truth

Too many plus of 
Lack of wisdom 
Is equal to 
Too many minus 
Of knowledge 

Too many plus of 
Materialism 
Is equal to 
Too many minus 
Of spirituality 

Too many plus of circle life
Is equal to 
Too many minus of 
Freedom

Too many plus of 
Freedom fighters 
Is equal to 
Too many minus of fear

Too many plus of intimidation
Is equal to 
Too many minus of braveness 

On and on it goes
An evil plus is always 
A way for good minus
So 
A good plus is always 
A way for an evil minus

And finally too many 
Plus of love 
Is equal to too 
Many and many 
Minus of wars 
Of every kind worldwide
