IGNORANCE


A land of plenty, bountiful joy.

Empathetic reasoning, devils ploy.

Stupidities commended.

Nativity recommended.

Understanding fading as the evil grows.

The lie that flourish in the pristine garden.

Of injustice, and inequity sown in it's rows.

Utter blindness to plain facts

and turned glances at revelations unsaid.

A community of unsound advice.

A never ending allegiance

to anything, or anyone unworthy

to all that is foul, self-absorbed and dirty.

To live there, one must be lost in it's glow.

Of it's forgiving, pacifying

self gratifying, comforting

stagnant flow.

Once you are plucked free

from it's poisonous bed of roses.

Reality floods every ounce of your being,

in highly effective doses.

You find you are inoculated

from unconditional, situations

the searing sound of reason

invades your constitution

Branding your skin,

Imprinting your soul

preparing you for the human toll

The price you pay for knowledge is high

For you must sympathize, you must care

With this comes pain and humility

and a desire for a greater state of grace

A love for the human race.
