Unknowing
To not know bliss is such a shame,
Forfeit fond ease in drowning cause;
Too late for shame the fleeting face,
Toss out the woes of telling times;
Ignite the loss with tinder box,
Diet and then feed that lightning blaze;
Eat away then the missing link,
Forgo group think as fancy springs;
Waltz by the bay with selfish plots,
Amass a maze of blurry lines;
Thus unknowing well can sweet sell,
The burning sums the anguish felt;
Growing up wise is no surprise,
For life in hell is earth on fire!
