Ignorance (Remove filter)
Ignorant to society
Our ignorance makes colour just an illusion
We latch onto black and white for vision
Purifying our naivety, protecting our fears
Whether it be blood, sweat, or tears; no trace can be found
Recognition is the key to unearth beyond our judgemental lines.
We deny ourselves the truth, yet believe in immortality.
Observing a bag soar through the wind
Can you feel its freedom?

WE HIDE
Hunger hides in the schools
Hunger hides in the uneducated
Hunger hides in a child's mind
Why should this be a political fight
We are not asking for a feast, just a little something to eat.
Sadness hides in the home
Sadness hides in the room
Sadness hides in the man on the streets
Don't want to run in your circle anymore.
Want to take that straight line le...

Decision
Ignorance is the deceiver of all men
The fate of which can come close to death
As though not knowing gravity exists will prevent you from falling
Nor that laws set in place will keep you out of prison
Ignorance is a dangerous mistress
It lures you in only to leave you stranded
It will strip you of your independence
Leave you bare for all to ridicule
Knowledge, how...

Ode To The Lazy And Ignorant Who Scoff At The Truth
Dark are these times the world's gone mad,
Its all gonna end soon and I'm kinda glad,
As I sit here alone in a state of isolation,
The world has been deceived in a sea of indoctrination,
Oh how we've been lied to on a scale so grand,
It's hard to comprehend so let me help you understand,
MK Ultra, Paperclip, Nine-Eleven and Blue-beam,
There's so much deception that it feels like dream,

Retrospective
This piece comes from an exhibition of the work of celebrated Australian artist and sculptor Brett Whiteley. Parts of his enormous masterwork "Alchemy" can be found on the cover artwork of Dire Straits' album of the same name. A long-term drug user, he died in 1992 from a heroin overdose.

Palimpsest
Who said reusable resources are a modern invention? Rubbish!
Palimpsest
It's said that no-one should ever die wondering
on which road to travel, how not to go blundering
in dangerous places, when it's best to be pondering
why the rain plays its tricks, why there's no distant thundering. . . .
As the years pass us by we add to our history,
little by little we work out...

It's you
Your sure fire
absolute certainty of journey
route, sustenance, kit,
plans, patterns, foresight,
well thought through reports,
talks on survival skills;
led an expedition into a pit.
Your only hope is,
whilst executing your ideas,
they kept a little something back
to save themselves.
They scramble for air
in hope that there are safer paths.
You sit ...

Ignorance
You came and swept me off my feet
Before I even had the chance to breathe
I went in way too deep
You took me up a little too high
I never told you I couldn’t fly
And when you let go, I’ll meet the earth
Smashing; with gravity’s force
The stars in the sky
The stars in your eyes
All the bright lights made me blind
I promised myself, but look where I am

Living With the Opposite
In this world in which
We live
We are blind to what we will not see.
The opposite
They haven't light.
Daring
We clash with great might.
One day I will get away
And walk this path not another day.

To Unknow is to Dream
Hey friends
My latest entry was inspired by a debate I had with some friends recently.The basic principle of this was the theory that you would be happier uneducated than if you knew everything. The theory that Ignorance is bliss.
So enjoy the poem and if you would like to comment your thoughts on the subject then please do.
