Ignorance Isn'T Bliss
Ignorance isn't bliss.
Ignorance is only
paradise to the giver,
not to the receiver.
In result of hearing
the venomous words,
his formerly blissful emotions become
contaminated,
as emotions turn
from gold to tar.
His black, acid eaten
emotions are clearly
shown on his face,
as his gateway of tears
are struggling to compress
and hold back,
threatening to drown the
ignorant.
But if he lets go,
if the dam for his tears crack and collapse,
his tears would only
be a shallow puddle,
not even covering
the giver of ignorance's
shoes.
But the giver still smirks
in satisfaction
aware of his reaction
as the
receiver
tries
so
hard
not
to break
down
and crumble at his feet.
