Let ignorance my bliss be - 2

I see Maya as a video game 
If its software gets decoded, 
No more a tiger, life looks cat-like tame  
If source code’s breached, its secret spread. 

By mere digits, by dots and dashes made,
Innocence still’s no bliss, but shame,  
Where so knowledge burns bright if ignited, 
Fun fizzles out and life walks lame. 

If players we are in a pre-planned game, 
Let Maya a magic toy be. 
Peas prosper well in a pod’s confined frame,
A man purblind looks, scarce can see. 

If ignorance is child-like innocence,
To bask in bliss, I feel, makes immense sense.
