The Idiocy of Ignorance [View all]

Why would one not want to know
The truths in this world hidden away
Requiring thought and knowledge
Insight and intuition
A background constructed
From facts, truth, and labor
Connections and language
Artistic vision revealing.

Yet…

Too many don’t care
As they float through their days
Consuming the voices
Images of strangers
Who care not what they think
Nor where they’ve been
And any deep thoughts
Bring scorn on their heads
From vapid discussions
Of fashions obsolete
While hormones infuse the air
With animal senses obscene
