World Without Insight

World without insight,
why do the good things
lie in the depths of darkness,
and are never brought to light?

But in the vast Universe,
we know,we are the only race
ready to suppress:
what's beautiful
and honest
and discouraging the ideals
of equality and morality
without consideration
and thought...

Where there's injustice,
there should be justice;
and where freedom 
doesn't exist at all,
there should rise a stronger voice
to be heard from all continents...   

World without insight,
have you seen more smiles
than resentful grins?
And why  you salvage 
the evils that still rage
in lands full of demise?
 
World without insight,
have you considered changes 
to wipe out poverty and unfairness...
and govern peoples with kindness?
