Ignorance is Death

A poem about my favourite saying, which in fact is true. I know not all people are ignorant, but many are.

Ignorance is Death

As I look at the Ignorant Masses

And I wonder, why are they like that? 

How can they live like that? The answer is simple

They do not truly live

The Ignorant are the dead

For Ignorance does not mean bliss

Ignorance does not mean happiness

Ignorance means death

You may be happy for a time without knowledge

And in fact there may be some things better left unknown

But total utter ignorance, it does nto simply lead to death

It is Death

Death of the mind

Death of the body

Death of the soul and spirit

Ignorance truly means Death

You do not know it

For you are ignorant, unknowing, uncaring

But you are slowly, inexorably

Fading away into oblivion

Ignorant of the past

Ignorant of the truth

Filled with lies

You have become a well of pure ignorance and untruth

You have become Dead

Killed by those who made you ignorant

Who keep you in ignorance

The murderers of this world

They have condemned you to die

Over and over again

And until you open your eyes

You will continue to die

Die in the mind

Die in the body

Die in the soul and spirit

You will always die

Your ignorance, if you can see it

Do not take refuge in it, it is not bliss

It is not happiness

It is Death

It is your killer

It is your executioner

For you have been condemned to die

By those who pull the strings

They do not want you realizing

They do not want you intelligent

They want you ignorant and stupid

So that you cannot stop them

They shall exploit you until the ends of this world

Condemning you for their bemusement and profit

To a world of indefinite pain and suffering

You just don’t know it

And now you shall all die

Die in mind, body, soul and spirit

The system shall kill you 

Ignorance shall be your death

You could not have known

They never allowed you to know

But they don’t care

Its all part of their plan

The Ignorant masses are already dead

They are simply too ignorant to realize it

And those who are not ignorant within the masses

Shall have the pleasure of watching all they know and cherish

Fade into the Death of Ignorance

The Ignorant are the dead

For Ignorance does not mean bliss

Ignorance does not mean happiness

Ignorance means death

Ignorance is Death
