I know nothing of where the wild geese go other than been told by those with loftier eye I know little of where the natural streams flow if not for those who have thought to journey and try I cannot say, whether heaven nor hell, my loved ones passed are yet silent. Content not to know till after I go, if the knowing remain respectfully compliant....

A Dog Chasing Its Tail
This was my first poem ever. I lost it a while ago but recently rediscovered it again. This was written when I was 15 and started my love of creating poems. I love looking back on it to see my improvements and thoughts since then! A little dog chases his tail Does he not know? Is he unaware? 'Someday...

Premium Member Because Ignorance Is Bliss
Please do not laugh; yes, I am “woke,” Volumes I’ve cried because ignorance is bliss, That our social studies are demonstrably broke When realities of our past we coldly dismiss. Children won’t understand what’s amiss For realities of the past must not be spoke They are told our history is not to reminisce, Please do not laugh; yes, I am “woke.” How desperately...

… 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...

Malnourished Hearts
I want to discover a new way to balance on the tightrope. I don’t want to push forward, Nor do I want to roll backwards. I surely can’t stay in one place for too long as they say, But who hardly has time nowaday’s to rot at this time of age and wait for the grim reaper to...

Sometimes, in life it is best when ignorance is bliss, than trying to correct something and go amiss; and when at work and people are gossiping as they do, I do not listen- I leave as their words are probably not true; and when I am asked about "it" I play dumb, with headphones on I really did...

Ignorance is bliss, Said the Little Miss As she picked the Edelweiss.* Ah, but tis only bliss Until you've had a kiss Replied the Master Kris. I do not want a kiss Hissed the Little Miss, And flicked her hand to dismiss That cheeky, charming Swiss. *Note: Edelweiss is symbolic of purity For Motto Matters 09/01/2021...

1. I think love be quite fastidious With a priggish clear intent To fester hurly burly On whom it should torment. One thing is absolute... 'Tis that and that shall be. Love's rudimentary motivation Be to source my misery. The End ...

Ignorance is Bliss What do I think of this? I have enough sense to see What is right in front of me Obvious and undeniable Sadly not always reliable The conning and conniving That seems to abound The dishonesty that is all around The whole world is spiralling Searching for a common ground What we need Is more care Less greed Too much is going wrong I can hear a...

Ignorance Is Bliss
What if we knew Where things would go The depth of dysfunction To come as we grow What if looking back Was, instead, up ahead Once, witnessed, the pain We’d become filled with dread Could we handle the truth Right there in one sitting Would our destined commitments Still be worth committing Would dreamers still dream Would children still pray Would the young still be green Or...

Ignorance Is Bliss
The wispy trees roll by row by row. The gentle breeze of the air conditioning brushes against my cheeks In the bright blue sky swallows sing freely A meadow lies in peace. Pure and holy. Beautiful beyond belief only nature can nurture such peace away from our motions of metal. But as they become increasingly distant lost in the annals of time; not even a...

When Ignorance Be Bliss
There will be times in the lives Of the most strongest And steadfast men When they know not What to say or do… What is right or wrong When they know not What’s truly goin’ on… Confusion and bewilderment Are words that readily come to the fore Circumstance …and mayhaps just chance Can cloud the clearest of minds And ignorance can be bliss Oft...

When Ignorance Is Bliss
I can't complain with all this grub I'm getting from dawn's first crack until the sun's last setting. I'm glad to be the happy son of fate, except for the fact I'm putting on some weight. The people here all seem so happy too but for one who's feeling very blue. by which I mean the chieftain's...

Ignorance Is Bliss Here in Malaysia things are happening and citizens are rather concerned.. Besides the regular petty crimes and stories of the juicy kind ... For the past year or so, this country has been embroiled in the 1MDB story..... Then there is the matter of Goods Service Tax applied across the country... Some folks are relatively unconcerned despite...
