Ignorance is not bliss

They say ignorance is bliss

but its more of an oblivion

its like the innocence of a childs mind being deflowered,

neglected and left to grasp their own reflection

and without authentic, committed, warm hearted, adherent

open and perseverant

with a little bit of tough love kind of attention

Well its the start of a chain of events

that usually leads to ones vain existence

like they’re piecings of a puzzle that never connect

unconscious that within their pieces have a perfect fit

blind-sided of their being their image is never seen

then invokes an aching void unforseen

causing an impulsive reaction to either pacify, tranquilize or satisfy

which will they decide

because to pacify is only a temporary fix

a substitute that will relentlessly miss

causing that vacant place to persist

and while unsatisfied screaming

"access denied"

the hunger multiplies

and to tranquilize is to hide burrying it inside

by numbing the pain which causes a habitual strain of fixation

most of the time using mind altering medication or

sex, money, drug, power trips of intoxication

cause without stimulation the pain is to excruciating

but to satisfy

is to take your time to fulfill

by conceiving a reason to the internal deficiency

thats screaming for the perfect remedy

and thats when you begin to heal

perceiving your own essence and embracing your soul

you finally see the picture of yourself unfold

So I hope they choose to satisfy and pray that in the end

they will comply

in time

with their destinys supplication

we all need life education

ignorance is not bliss

No doubt about it: cultivating knowledge of Self, and wisdom in regard to life in general, is one of the greatest gifts one can give to oneself. Beautiful poem.
