A Long Way To Go

Human beings have achieved many great things men have walked on the moon

And scientists claim they will find another planet for people to live on soon

Some distant planet way beyond the stars

Even far beyond Jupiter and Venus and Mars

The invention of the internet connects people Worldwide

An achievement for humanity that is a source for pride

But by human created nuclear bombs it cannot be denied

That the Earth that does feed us could well be destroyed

And despite human achievements some things as they were stay the same

Class distinction that causes inequality is one worthy to name

People of so called royal blood born into titles by birth circumstance

One can say their wealth and fame and honorary titles came to them by chance

That human beings have many great achievements to boast of there can be no denying

Yet sad  to think in the World of today people of malnutrition are dying

And many people without shelter will sleep rough tonight

This sharp increase in inequality between people just does not seem right

Of our many achievements us humans ought to feel proud

But our praises we ought not to sing very loud

For we have many negatives happens to be so

And to achieve perfection we still have a long way to go.
