The Height of Ignorance
The height of ignorance
sleeping when we oath
to be awake
laughing when we need
to think
pretending when we have
nothing
never creative in a time
of necessity
always blaming when we
could stop the curse at the
first place
tell me how far is this ignorance
the height of ignorance
lying when the truth is
the solution
lavishing when we oath
to save
having fun when we need
to work
never want to be told the truth
comfort in illusion
comfortable with lies
always doing same thing
to same result
so please answer me
how far is this ignorance
the height of ignorance
misquotation of spirituality
lack of wisdom for spirituality
no knowledge of universal connection
yet we own a lot high schools
certificate
less chance to love
invoking what we don't understand
above all refusal to accept the truth
now again i ask
how far is this ignorance
