Premium Member Ignorance Is Bliss

… where ignorance is bliss,  / ‘Tis folly to be wise.

Informed about the choices—
the mainstay o’ adulthood—
we often smother voices;
in good stead they have stood.
Grapple with, analyse
a destination grim:
a web of intrigue; lies
which we quote verbatim.
Some opportunities
present itself to us
with practicalities.
We often wish to cuss,
but many chances missed
in pursuit of prize.
Where ignorance is bliss,
‘tis folly to be wise.

The quote is from the final stanza of Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, by Thomas Gray (1716–71). 
This is an example of gnomic poetry.

Aphorism

if everything was equal
Even so, nothing would be the same
only the one different could be...

I'D Like To Catch the Rainbow Tail

I'd like to catch the rainbow tail,
But hope is nothing for the reason
And graveyard's full of dreams (they fail)
And wonders are there like in prison.

Good Morning Aphorism From Doctor Deo

During 30 days of discipline (4 hour prayer in Johannesburg for all of August 2019), God's Holy Spirit led me to inspire "tired" prayer warriors:

"Good Morning! The reason it is GOOD morning, folks, is:
"Because God is GOOD to us, to Creation, we will have a good morning. If God is not good, you cannot hope for a good morning."

So, I may often say, "GOD MORNING," instead of good morning. In North America, I might be called "corny" for saying this ... but after you dwell on this "SPIRIT thought" - I could not really create it - you will be en-LIGHT-ened. PTL

I'D Like Be Flying With the Wind

I'd like be flying with the wind 
to find new shores, I'd like to flee, 
But there is contradiction fiend:
I always take myself with me.

Premium Member Aphorism Plus: Quote by Benjamin Franklin

"Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead," ... quote by Benjamin Franklin

If the three are still left breathing would you fear what might be said, for when you hear the truth of this, all secrets be at risk, will opportune all freedoms aim to raise those penniless. 

To save your life, you must heed words for they will serve you best, twas the dark lord who had written you, your present interest. You'd outlast two that Shady knew and brought them back, plus test. 

Which he will sit to judge at trial, cometh that hour he set; three souls for him, your life--you get, and to all, we have outlined, are the needed facts, to which, my friend, to that you'll do your best.

In summation, I gathereth, 
three souls he will get,
mentioning their untimely deaths.
My inner art be facts,
coursing throughout my veins,
I will accomplish this here task
known to me by that name
--the Beastmaster. Alas,
my eyes answered my guess--
me'lord; Keeper of Hell's Gate ... 
                                  ~ I pass.

Sometimes Our Goodness Goes Too Far

Sometimes our goodness goes too far,
you know how does it smell,
Alas, but best intentions ARE
the shortest way to hell.
