Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss, and how tempting it is
To ignore everything that is
Disregard the hurt and pain
The evil things men do to gain
Avoid the sneers and talk
That follows you where ever you walk
Evade all death
By a hairs breadth
And live in a perfect world
Where the flower petals are always unfurled
Where the sun is always shining
And the birds fly free
Oh, how tempting it is
To stay forever in this
But reality is waiting outside
And will come barging in
If you don’t acknowledge its eyes
