The world would be a better place if
Ignorance wasn’t bliss
If love was more than just a kiss
If people fought to get justice and not vengeance
The hate is endless
We see it everywhere
Yet, all we do is stare
It’s because our minds are dark
There’s not a single spark
We are nothing more than a blackened soul
With not a drop of self-control
