Cause Of Violence

By Munnan

Where wealth without work be, 

And commerce without morality; [1]

Where pleasure without conscience be, 

And science without humanity; [2]

Where knowledge without character be, 

And duty without modesty; [3]

Where worship without sacrifice be, 

And freedom without duty; [4]

Where enemies without conscience be, 

And ideals without humility; [5]

Where politics without principles be, 

And work with ego dominatingly; [6]

Where oppression with democracy be, 

And principles with arrogance fully; [7]

Where achievement without truth be, 

And action with hate overpoweringly; [8]

Where belief with stubbornness be,

And humanity without responsibility. [9]
