Ignorance

With open ears and a closed mind
I basked in the sun of information 
I swam in deep seas
Of knowledge 
Breathed in corrections
Just to later breath out fury
Paranoid of my pride’s fate 
Believed I was an island
So I wrecked every ship 
In my radar

Turned off every light 
You may say I was up tight 
But from the comfort of the dark  
That was surely right 
I only applauded ideas 
In my custody 
Perceived everything as stupidity
