To Change the World

Is it worth it to put yourself in,
An environment completely unlike,
Your own so that the poverty that always exists,
Seems like something you should fight,

And the oppression found everywhere,
Is unnacceptable to you,
So much so that you help the revolution,
And so learn what to do,

When you return to your own land of extremes,
Where the few haves are far fewer than half,
Who could distribute their wealth evenly,
And demolish the system that supplied the cash?

I think it's alright,
But won't change anything,
In either place because what's common in both,
Is human nature is their underpinning.
