A poem about today's society
Angelic expression carved from a lump of stone,
a permanent reminder of a blissful past.
Relishing in the lack of knowledge to the lives of others,
enjoying the peaceful state of your ignorance.
Relying on what others don't say, instead of what they do.
Ignorance truly was bliss.
A commonly used phrase that holds as little truth as,
"reap what you sow", holds these days.
Ignorance is no longer bliss.
The difference between not understanding something,
and refusing to accept it are insanely different.
An ignorant world filled with morons and cowards,
the stunted growth of the masses.
Goading you to fit a mold formed by those that are no longer.
Reshaping for an image no longer necessary to obtain.
These are the lost words of a population that strives for inaccuracy of self.
Drowning in their own denial,
holding onto what little truth is left in the mind of a madman,
who holds the keys to your future, without the knowledge of what they are for.
We ARE your wasted youth.
