Think About It
What sane person would want life uninformed?
Can we live while knowing that we know naught?
Would we cert1 know how much we need to mourn,
Or would we not know that we have learned zot2?
For ignorance is a bitter rival,
Because its defeat is, in fact, absurd
If it is not first seen to be libel,
Though the delict3 is not of written word.
And none can certainly see that we’d ken4
the true crime committed against our minds.
This may easily be true of all men,
And no one knows the sin that none can find.
Should we not be upset by what we miss?
Why no. Don’t you see? Ignorance is bliss.
