Blinded / Ignorance

I see the fear in your eyes

The shadow over your heart

Rather remain in darkness

Then embrace the spark

In life which it’s given

Enlightened in the mind

The truth doesn’t fit in

A world embellished by lies

Never deciphered

Walking around blind

To answers

For questions already given

Listening to answers

Without doubt or suspicion

All original thoughts lost vision

Enslaved to ignorance’s prison

Awareness glistens to unfold

A world without senses

Cant smell shit under their nose

Quick to oppose what’s different

Quick to cast stones

When sins their reflection

Rejecting to them what isn’t right

People who man slaughtered, desecrated

Raped a million wives

Tortured, destroyed

Creators of genocide

Abide by holy doctrine?

Promised eternal life

By God’s only begotten

Who died for their sins

Preached by millions

Closely followed

In it’s steps is:



IGNORANCE

Man’s most powerful

Self perpetuated

WEAPON
