Ignorance At its FinestA Poem by Nadia ZahranSupersonic waves of tension Squeezing your every muscle To formulate anything that emulates normalcy Normalcy doesn’t come Just blank awareness of a complacent existence Existence that for once is treasured Unmeasured by expectations and ideas of fallacies Too often you push these thoughts away Disclose them to your mind Yet, all you achieve is bitter ignorance You know, sometimes I wonder how you can be so ill-informed So closed to the actualities of this life To a point where the educator seems like a liar And the educated lose faith This indifference makes me sick Idolizing something that you will soon realize does not
exist You like to blame it on human nature Or just plain apathy It’s pathetic that you think you can justify your ignorance
with unwarranted excuses Excuses that feed your ego and destroy my optimism I can’t comprehend how you can ignore logic and common sense
and just live Is that really living, though? I can’t wrap my head around such nonsense This so-called normalcy isn’t normal at all This so-called bliss is anything but Your indifference disgusts me © 2017 Nadia Zahran |
