Ignorance Is Not a Friend

Adolescents gallivant the street in glee they sing and shout enjoying freedom they never accounted for knowing not the pain the ones before suffered so they may gain Ignorant of the blood stained walls they pass as they happily walk Their noise makes the streets come alive in the night It disguises the cry of the meek to howls of joy it silences the death rattle of the woman suffering at the hands of the beast for he still roams the streets its tranquil in ignorance that covers the deceit of the man standing at the alter preaching the one who hears the desires of the afflicted has gone to sleep he sees us not for the fire that was once ablaze is extinguished this treacherous sin is the wax that has covered the ears of the creator darkness roams where light once was for evil prevails when the good cease to do good behind closed doors his monstrous hands daily caress her body everyone hears her cry yet hide behind their fingers and choose not to fight a hero to many is a villain with no mercy only the foreigner objects to this inhuman behavior a heroine walks in to save the day for she is a purposeful trailblazer a breath of fresh air that tangles the cobwebs that lay troubles the stagnant waters that the nostalgic thought to be bliss uncovers the hidden and frees her from captivating and enlightens the world on the wrong of the situation A new generation rises to take their place its a choice well all should make or drown on a trance to a dismal fate its either we stare in ignorance or end the cycle of abuse fight the scourge that has prevailed before YOUTH WHERE ART THOU? THE TIME IS NOW! STAND UP AND FIGHT Ignorance is not a friend!
