Ignorance

a dangerous makeup
painful in its entirety
with no good compensation:
An Endanger of Life!

a scoffing-belief
extra cost for survival
its value nothing can buy:
A Worthless Risk!

a sinful poison
thereby a fool is known
knowledge alone its antidote:
An Eye-opener born by pain!

ignorance
cost me much
and much cost me more
behold very much I now know.
