What If the World Is Not Deaf, Dumb and Can See

What if the ears of the world were functioning 
Maybe that would have prevented it from slumbering
Snoozing in it very daylight stupidity 
Unveiling the barrier to save humanity. 
Unified in fighting against poverty
And not to promote the so called white supremacy 

Because the world is blind
We smile with dirt in our mind
Undermining the ideals that we supposed to live by
Not spreading love, causing others to cry
We suppose to live in peace, yet we chose to perish in war,
In the name of flags and banners when humanity we ought to fight for.

Because the world is dumb
See what we all have become,
Speaking truth and living in lie 
That the truth even if the world tend to deny
In fear of those whom we empower 
And we whom they tend to lead they devour

You called me deaf, dumb and blind 
When you have caused your own civilization to declined
You created the class system not me
Looting and killing each other then act carefree 
All I do is accommodate all mankind,
So dance to the music you sang cause your finger is too small to hide behind.

I do provide the air to breathe and the space to accommodate, 
You cherish the evil and the corrupt you celebrate,
You create the class system and treat people according to their race,
Not wanting to take the blame of your actions, you rub that on my face.

I am the world! And their is nothing wrong with me,
I have ears, mouth and can see,
Accept your fault and start to learn from your mistakes,
Put an end to all the barriers no matter what it takes,
That I know is hard for you to handle, 
So stop blaming me for your sinking boat and start to paddle.
