Stagnate minds refusing to learn
Stifling evolution with no concern
Blissful ignorance leads the way
Hopeless hopes, hope and pray
Closing eyes to the warning sign
Festering in time, inclined to be blind
Do some research, read a book
Meditate on life with a fresh new look
For not heeding the enlightened voice
Despair, the reward for such a choice
Wisdom, always a rewarding sensation
Never experienced by mental stagnation
