Blissfully ignorant
If a choice be given,
as it is,
it is when one decides
one chooses
blissfull ignorance
and lives life
without
Knowing, warning,
preparation
believing all is well
not worried
about the signs
there are too many
false positives
One that refuses
to be seen
Looked over,
poked and fondled
or to have themselves analyzed
as they would rather not know
if terminal,
if nothing at all
rather they are
blissfull, ignorant
they live, and do so
just to be alive
they accept that sickness
may come
calling
upon their time here
be it shorter
or long enough
but they don't want
to live knowing
waiting, fearing, praying
Watching
as loved ones watch them go
No, if given a choice
I choose to remain
blissfully ignorant
making the best
of what time I've left
and knowing only
that I am alive today
Allowing nature to run it's course
because of course,
we all go
and going only brings us all back home
so, no... Don't tell me
I don't want to know.
