Ignorance Is Bliss Poem by John Fenton Mcleish

As he awakens to reality
Sees the horrors that manifest around
Searches for a peaceful sanctuary
No oasis on this earth to be found

Tries to pretend that he is ignorant
Tells himself it is all a part of life
Persecution of the innocent
Imagination just running rife

Deep down he knows there can be no escape
From these events that do torture his mind
For these demons that do mentally rape
Crush his soul and spiritually bind

Jim was right he hit the nail on the head
You will never get out, alive or dead
