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]
