[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => I hear them tell me ignorance is bliss But what they don’t know is this They can take a hike I’ll think what I like It’s just an excuse not to acknowledge That people around them are on the edge Of saying something they really shouldn’t They want to but they know they couldn’t Retaliation is a gyp Truth turns into a hurtful quip The tables are spun around Until the truth comes shattering to the ground In a pile of hate And by then it’s too late To bite your tongue and pretend Like it never happened again and again So when you feel like telling me That speech is a privilege and isn’t free I’ll turn myself around and shake my head If free speech goes from here, what then? Hallelujah, Amen and Praise To all of those who will raise The point of bringing up the problem And bring it crashing down upon them The trouble that they’re causing The secrets they’re applauding The nonsense they churn out day and night Not knowing, caring if they’re right They have their groups, their huddles, their mass Believing in their minds that they’re first class When really they need to know That class and tattling doesn’t go Together in a perfect group Gossiping for the perfect scoop It makes no sense, what is ignorance for? So those of us better can take the floor And prove to them that they were wrong And that we knew this all along So if you hear ignorance is bliss Just give that conversation a miss [comments] => 1 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 63 [informant] => Wilder [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => hbadday )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
