The Ignorant
By Loneal
Reading, learning, discovering truths
Reminders reminding me once again
Ignorance rules our bendable rules
while people elsewhere are forced to defend.
What does the world do, as do I, safe and sound,
amidst our hopes and rallies for peace
in our fervent protests 'gainst wars and death
of foreign lands now on political lease?
"That's too bad" we whisper, shaking blank heads,
we say "if only" but what if we could?
From the ignorant to uncaring mass
What would we give for the pain they've withstood?
An eye for an eye? Perhaps tooth for tooth?
Or would you turn your other cheek instead?
Peace is an idol: an untouchable dream
War is our reality until hatred is dead.
And thinking, hearing, uncovering truths
Reminders remind me over again
My ignorance rules our bendable rules
and others take risks, give life, to defend.

Much admiration for your scope of vision.. it takes people like each other to make a difference, however small. I really believe that.

Ah, yes, the problem of democracy...the ignorant and uncaring masses. We have. I hope, reached the pinnacle. Represented by those we have bending the rules...my ignorance pains me, but the cure, still is painful to take at times...knowledge.

"Will you die now for this or live with guildt". I was traped as soon as I asked this. I started hating life, my own infact becouse the question take over everything. Now I ask "Will you live now for this or die with guildt"

I am no longer traped, it was the key to the trap for me. This write can be an eye opener and an eye closer, for me atleast. Now I can appreciate it, and like it for trying to embrace the world. Tiger
