Listen to poem:

Ignoring Ignorance

There wouldn't be haters if you ignored negative admirers
Are you really expecting honesty from a person who's a liar 
Stay positive and expect the unexpected 
Ignoring ignorance keeps you unaffected 
You leave the house knowing you good in that dress
Yes the insecure are going hate so just ignore that mess
If most of us ignored ignorance road rage wouldn't be a success 
Those who do things just for attention would fail in their quest
Ignorant people fuel their fire when they gain the attention of others
Why else does a spoiled child act out in public with it's mother
If you don't like ignorance then why do you stare at it
Listening to a person talking to himself knowing he's a drug addict
Have you seen the way people talk too loud just to be noticed
They would feel like a nobody if you would keep your focus
Ignorance becomes outraged when it doesn't get the attention it wants
Violence can't ignite or escalate if you ignore someone's taunts
Half the ignorant are defeated when you don't show a reaction 
I ignore ignorance because i cant stand it with a passion
