Ignorant Or Innocent
The nature of life is simple but sublime
The key to the extension of one's life
Is through procreation
As it guarantees the survival of genes
Passed on down the timeline
But invariably there will be threats
And unfavorable conditions
Some are non-negotiable
But others remain up for debate
Logic thus indicates
The best course of action
Is to eliminate the negotiable concern
With vigor and conviction
But sometimes this endeavor
Is not as simplistic as we desire
We are bogged down by the ignorant
Who cannot see the future being dealt
So everyday we make a choice
Are we to be dictated by the ignorant
Thus ensuring the continuation of negotiable threats
For our youngest and most at risk
The answer is most unfortunately yes
For decades we have been swayed by the unwashed
By the ignorant who reject science
By the beast who makes us all but cattle for catastrophe
By the ignorant who every day
Bring us to the brink of global calamity
In my heart burns an undying rage
The all-consuming day ruining anger
For every damned fool who continues to ignore facts
That this world is in peril
And it is thanks to humanity itself
So we must ask ourselves
And to answer we must look deep within our souls
We must look to our convictions
And we must look at every young innocent
Whose futures are up for debate
We must ask ourselves
Is this truly the best course for our survival
Because time is running out
The longer we delay the more inevitable the fall
So ask yourselves this
Do we entertain the ignorant
Or do we salvage the innocent?
