Ruined in the pursuit of perfection

There has never been a time when no one has fought.
Everyone has always believed their way of life the best.
Those dissimilar from ourselves are named savages.
They who practise different ways of life are feared.
And so the world has been robbed of many a civilisation.
So many principles and morals have been lost.
We look back at the tribes that lived and died for honour.
But view is clouded by the necessity to evolve.
We learn neither from mistakes nor do we heed them.
This world and peoples will be ruined for perfection.
Ruined for the sake of perfection.
Ruined in the pursuit of a greater good.
