Ignorance

Ignorance

A Poem by Eva Rosehill

We live behind veils woven from vanity and greed,
As we peer through to a world misconceived,
Blind to the bitter reality of society,
Ignorant to suffering, we make ourselves the priority,


We cover our ears, oblivious to the pleas,
The desperate prayers of those on their knees,
Instead we wash our hands from those who appeal,
In holy water polluted with the blood who kneel.


Cover the eyes of the children who see,
Avert them away from those who'll never be free,
Confine them within walls of false security,
Protect them misshapen thoughts of impurity, 


So we smile behind our veils and forget what we've done,
The afflictions we serve upon those that we shun,
The people who beg for comfort and kindness,
As we corrupt the world behind with greed and blindness.

There is a song written by Casting Crown - " Does Anybody Hear Her " that tells the same message and story this poem tried to convey . Thanks for sharing and putting yourself in their shoe

This is a very expressive poem, with indignation dripping out of every verse. Carry On!

This is such a sincere and heartfelt piece...I feel most people remain ignorant by choice because they feel it's a safe way to spew hate and turn a blind eye to injustices without the worries of consciousness and guilt. So many cries fall on covered ears...not deaf. The backs of many have been the stepping ladders of more and tears of those suffering have been the water the greedy bathe in...Ignorance only begets ignorance and the silence of those who know better and choose to do nothing doesn't deem them ignorant...it deems them guilty. Great write
