Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Abolish Ignorance

Ignorance is what I would abolish
I'd educate the world from A to Z
Oldest, youngest, largest and the smallest
Solve universal problems one, two, three
Teach everyone the skills to read and write
And give them back their pride and confidence
With education dark will turn to light
The world would change with this benevolence
Maybe they will find a cure for cancer
Or simply help them feed their family
Chances are they might just have the answer
Eradicate hunger and poverty
Abolishing the world of ignorance
It seems to me it's only common sense

Sandra Haight April 3, 2016 at 11:25 AM A beautifully written Sonnet, Daniel, that expresses so many wishes to abolish all the negative things that make for unhappiness in our world. Someday, perhaps they will come true. Sandra Daniel Turner April 3, 2016 at 11:34 AM What a wonderful place this will be!. Thank you Ms Sandra for your kind comments. Peace nice lady:)

Jean Murray April 3, 2016 at 8:02 AM I'm not so sure Daniel. For example, who is to judge that the Aboriginals here were ignorant? Or the native Americans? Perhaps we supposedly educated folk are the ignorant ones. We certainly are not too good at nurtering this precious planet of ours. Daniel Turner April 3, 2016 at 9:08 AM There are many forms of ignorance, Jean. Being ignorant of another's way of life is what led to the destruction of their societies. Education is for everyone, nobody knows everything. Peace my friend:)
