Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

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
