Our world

In the world of peace and of disorder 
 the cleavage lies between 
 Love Thy Neighbour and Love Oneself. 
In every society sages teach for order and peace 
 while selfish and evil people exploit and plunder. 
Sages can't do much good where there are no followers, 
 and dictators can't do much harm where there are no sycophants. 
The world is full of resources 
Abundances of kinds still unknown 
Mankind's free to till and harvest 
to live in luxury and comfort 
Alas some chose to take the easy path 
To rob and gather unto oneself. Who's smart and who's stupid Only the end of life shall reveal. As all men are mortal, they come and they go. The globe spins on.
