Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss said he to me,
Your thoughts only stretch as far as you can see.
Forget other troubles that hold no concern,
Create your own fire where conscience can burn.
It's here you're successful, where dreams can now be,
Ignorance is happiness and it's coming for me!

Igorance is incompetence said I to he,
You're simply afraid of what you can't see.
Around hidden corners is where life is true,
And you must understand that it's coming for you.
For in its own time life deals a bad deck,
But ignorance is happiness so you've no need to fret.

Is ignorance reality or some innate desire?
To help overcome this conscience fuelled fire.
Is it the water to quench and forget?
Or is it your view that the future is set?
Be blind to your problems and soon you shall find,
That happiness, not ignorance, has left you behind!!

Ignorance is highly over rated

Musel,

At 6:00 am this morning I really enjoyed the internal arguments presented in this piece. It is truly a shame just how many people use ignorance as a crutch and somehow get away with it for a while. In fact this piece reminds me of one of mine called "Insistent Ignorance". It used to be posted on this site. Should you like to see it for comparison sake just let me know and I will repost it.

If I wasn't genteel enough to welcome you to the site yesterday please let me correct that oversight. A hardy welcome to you and your words.

Pete

PS: I would love to have you joing my buddy list

thanks

I warmly accept your invitation to the buddy list pete and thank you for your comment on the write. sure, I would like to see your version for comparative puroposes. I wrote this when I was 15, nearly 10 years ago now and found it while rooting through some old copy books from school. For nostalgic purposes more than anything I decided to post it, but the meaning still rings true. It is a common problem we all face I suppose. it's very easy to brush things under the carpet and hope they will go away....

You're surely welcome

Musel,

I have just posted "Insistent Ignorance" per your request. I hope you like what you shall read.

Your buddy,

Pete

You pick tough thoughts

Try to put them in words that at time's survive
At others rake and destroy the readers mind.
I wonder how you process these words in kind
But your attempts at long ones make them divide.

Try short well placed words.

very well put nature360, do

very well put nature360, do you mean that the sentences are too long or that the reader is processing too many words and that it loses its meaning? I'm confused but interested, please explain:)
