IGNORANCE

Folder: 
2003 Poetry

Illiteracy is the stronghold

of feeble minds

in the mountain

of doom and slur abound,

but take a second look

and see right through your

dilapidated eyes  

of its innoxiousness

better not to know

or know some

than to know it all

for knowing too much

opens the gate of hell

"better not to know
or know some
than to know it all
for knowing too much
opens the gate of hell"

Somtimes "ignorance is bliss"
I agree wholeheartedly
with your wisdom.
