Ignorance

This isn't one of my best poems. I think it only took me about half an hour to write. I like this poem, however, because I truly think ignorance is bliss.

Ignorance
Ignorance is bliss.
The pure, simple truth.
Ignorance is the first shield,
That blocks the horrid world from me.
Nothing is more bliss than ignorance.
If you wish it, and you get it
You are no longer ignorant.
If you only wish, you never know.
It is almost better that way.

If you never know, you never care,
Your actions and emotions
Never change or stray.
You know what you feel,
In a predictable way.
Ignorance keeps emotions in order.
Wild emotions ruin the balance
Of everything you worked for.
Ignorance keeps.

If you don’t know,
You can’t be blamed.
Ignorance is the perfect, natural alibi.
It is the easiest thing to pretend,
And the hardest thing to keep.

I envy the genius who said that
Ignorance is bliss.
