Ignorance
People stare,
Ignorance,
They sneer,
Ignorance
They don’t know what we’re worth,
What it is worth to us,
Until that very moment,
If it ever does come,
The one when eyes are opened,
The one when light rays move in,
Etching a picture on the inside
And still they don’t know,
They see that there is something missing,
They see that there is more than just this,
But they haven’t the slightest idea,
No notion, no conception,
About what could possibly be so special
They are all ignorant,
Unknowing ignorant humans
Conformed to the life of others,
Confused, Intolerant, Ignorant
Will they ever know?
If only, if only,
How much easier it could be,
How much more accepting it would be,
If only, if only
But they have what they need,
And they know as much as they want,
And they are all ignorant,
Everything they don’t know,
Simply does not exist to them,
It never has and never will
They can’t accept what they refuse to see,
But it is the here and now and never leaving,
Only growing,
And yet they cannot see it,
Do they not realize what they’re missing?
I should suppose they don’t,
They can’t realize what they don’t know and see
The sneers and whispers that escape their lips,
Ignorance,
The stares that burn the skin,
Ignorance
The vice of mankind,
Ignorance
