Atop

Atop your pedestal
Life is grand
Brain in pocket
Deed in hand

‘Tis a cage not a refuge
Ignorant bird
But “let’s all eat cake”
‘Twas all that was heard

Ignorance is bliss as the saying goes, very clever poem i like it a lot. "let us all eat cake." let us! let us all fill our mouths say we may not speak the truth and let's give false pleasures to our minds to cover the penetrating waves of denial.
