"Ignorance Is Bliss (bāla-bhāṣitam)"
  by LunaVega


Take your foot out of your mouth
long enough to listen to me....
You hate me because I'm honest
you cant smell the truth
its like like pray of a skunk to you
and you live your life shrouded in lies
your eyes are midnight like a sharks
cold and lifeless, and teaming with putrid intent
you swim in deep waters without reguard
you hate me because I represent the real
you are plastic and hardened against the feel
of a touch or a smile
or walking a mile
in the shoes of your fellow man
Dont blame the world for your hate
blame your self for disconnecting
from the whole
yāra yata bala!
see yourself as part of the problem
and find yourself as part of the solution
your anger falls on deaf ears
your hated is backed by childish fears
you have some grow'n of the soul to do
till this hate you have will free you

Some people become so engulfed in ignorance that it becomes reality for them... a way of life if you will

your eyes are midnight like a sharks cold and lifeless, and teaming with putrid intent .... I really thought those lines were nice, and the whole poem had a really good rhythm to it, I really wish that others did crave the kind of knowledge that you are preaching for people to have... very nice write.

There is truth in the words you speak. Understanding other perspectives helps increase knowledge. To think otherwise would be self mutulation and mental genocide. Nice scribing there poetess.
