Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss A saying of old Many believe that this is a story not to be told The death of a man, no consequence A child forever gone, no consequence No one needs to know, for how could one disturb our bliss How could this be considered bliss? As old as time itself this has been true Bliss is that of truth, the truth that is given Not the lie that is woven for the desire of another Ignorance is nothing to keep in your heart, for it does nothing but deceive Nothing more than a deceptive tool, born of dark intentions Life has lost its value in the in the world Gone with its humanity People are ignorant, being fed so as not disturb the balance The unlawful deaths of man, nothing more than dirt upon the ground Events of the world as annoying as flies We are ignorant, the truth no longer in plain view Woven into the web of lies that gives us “Bliss” We live by the lies that are told For nobody can be as bold To say what must be told That ignorance is no bliss
