Inhumanity Of Man

Divided between the things I know
and the things I know to be right.
To be blind with all facts in front of me.
With glasses and candle so I could read,
yet I'm still somehow refusing to see.
How can we pay for cruelty
when it stares us in the face?
Most of us remain ignorant,
turn a blind eye.
While we consume and savour every moment.
Is this what makes us superior,
intelligent and human?
Or are we just the cruelest beast there is...
