Ignorance And Vanity Poem by Major Elazia

Ignorance And Vanity



I speak my mind with my voice of criticism
In kindness I refuse to be subdued by my choice of words
And my message remains the same to the world
For shame may be the veil made of vile gold
That is used to clothe stupidity in bold fonts

I prefer to engage with those who think
While I refer the unreasonable to the logic gurus
If not I keep a stoic silence in my logic
It pains me to live in the ignorance magic
Doomed are they who parade it to their tragic end

Each day I discover a new faucet of my ignorance
I wish not to be obliterated by my own ignorance
Even though learning has a limit to which one can attain
I refrain from being bogged in enlightened darkness
I pity those who have no atonement for their sins of ignorance

It is true each day I forget
Yet I know learning afresh is not easy
For a sharp mind is greased with a good memory
That can only be built by engaging the Enlightened Gurus
Be warned, some of this gurus wallow in darkness

I have met some highly learned souls
Yet they wallow in vanity
Oblivious to reason because of their status
They relate only to their kind in class and stature
But miss too much more from they that are so lowly to them

Great knowledge is not transcended by vanity
Be warned in reason and logic of this vile of vanity
It is the mark of the ignorant many
Who rant all they know in self importance
And end up being silly to even with lowest thinkers of reason

I proclaim my weakness to the world
My words bare no kindness even for my own ignorance
Each day ignorance catches up with me and gets my mind torn
Each day I try to reclaim my freedom from the vanity of ignorance
How far I achieve that remains unknown to me
