The sons of ignorance

The sons of ignorance

A Poem by Matthew Palmer-Jones
"

My message to the sons of ignorance

"
Sons of ignorance,you must absolutely hate me.
Every time I speak,you tear me down.
My heart is torn that the human race no longer seeks knowledge so divine.
I seek what is true,and set aside what I want.
But to you,that is an unheard of concept.
Set aside what is easy, pursue what is hard.
I labor over pages of ancient script,
searching for something more.
My eyes heavy,and head full of contemplation 
I refuse to give in to your horrible conditions.
I must learn and better myself,for the sake of the world.
I can not force you...
Go ahead,you stay content...
I seek truth,despite the inconvenience.
