IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS... by Veralyn Chinenye
When our parent ate at Eden's table
A bite of fatted knowledge
Then came the fall like a
DOOM!
The messy end of an over-riped fruit
Fingered by a thousand solider ants
If ignorance is bliss
Shouldn't you be blissful?
For you say, I better not know truth and remain aloof
I love the styled closed mouth cuttings of my apparel
For this ignorance keeps me guarded from creation's fall
The quarter moon has appeared in thy eyes
Beckoning on your beam
For knowledge dances over thy hair, lend her thy stand
And wisdom flaunts her curves, seducing you to her bed soaked in the rarest of Gilead's balm
All you only need, extend thy hand.
Don't point to the serpent.
Don't woo at the woman
For we are trapped in this garden
Where is ignorance is bliss and wisdom beckons.
Believe in the magic of believing.
Don't let thy hands cut thy short
Extend!
