Ignorance Is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss. So you want to keep me in igorance Keep me in a mist So when I get paid I get blitzed So you want to keep me in ignorance I am of no importance Daily ways, daily trance Battered, exposed, no utterance So you want to keep me in ignorance My root now my branches My head detached My soul departed You eat the food I plant the grain And we repeat this Time and time again So they keep us in ignorance Not knowing which part to play No ways, no means, no guidace Strife, heartache, pestilence Once you learn to know Another seed will grow Branches bearing the harvest With a future of certainty Clearing clouds of dubious gaits Ushering in a new dawn.

You have a gentle yet direct approach with your layout /rhythm. Have read several of your beautiful poems over an impressive range of topics - from fruit, to death of step family, gardening to jubilee. I see many other folk on PS are very pleased to see you posting.
