Ignorance

Ignorance is masked by a smile
by a kind word
until like a sudden rainstorm
it slips out of control

you are very ignorant
to allow those unkind words to flow freely from your mouth
with no regard for those you may have wounded
poor people work harder than most rich, keep that in mind

it makes no difference your political affliliation
but to speak with utter disregard for someone else
shows me despite your attempt to educate yourself
you have fallen drastically short

keep the mask on that you choose to grasp
it might help you escape the harsh reality
of those who can't afford to eat
but work their fingers to the bone just the same

you are ignorant
maybe you should go without food for a week
to help clear your conscience and open your mind
without that, i fear, you'll be spending eternity in blissful ignorance
