Ignorance Is a Bliss

Ignorant of the evil that lurks in our souls, 
                                               I savored every moment of my life..
Ignorant of the hypocrisy that reeks from every pore, 
                                               I smelled nothing but sincerity and pure
goodness..
Ignorant of the dark shadows, 
                                               I was mesmerized by the fake glare.. 

So, yes, ignorance is a bliss, and
               that's what I miss..

Vary nicely done. SO true, their are times everyday that I wont speak up, because most think they have it all figured out anyway. I do relate to this poem in the sense I to have seen the evil on can hide, wants you are privy to this you're never the same..
