Effective Ignorance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There is detectable ignorance,
Effective on both sides.
And spreading.
To influence minds,
Nearly everywhere.

Some of it debatable,
As being good ignorance.
While most of it shown to be,
Better than it has ever been.
With proof and evidence of it!

'Today...
Ignorance seems to be,
A way of life.
So many have achieved.'

True!
And difficult it is,
To reward everyone...
For this unbelievable,
Accomplishment.

'Well,
Personally...
That kind of attention to get,
I would rather be regarded...
As one of the participants.
Than being,
The initiator of it all.'

What a humbling confession.

'I have been always told,
Remaining to stay humble...
Is in itself,
A rewarding achievement! '

You...
Should consider yourself,
Among the blessed.

'I do the best I can,
To remind myself of it! '

And proud of that,
You should be.
That kind of success,
Many are unable...
To keep to themselves.
Congratulations!
