The World's Ignorance Poem by Sara Hol

The World's Ignorance

Rating: 4.5


Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder,
but what do we aquire when all there is
in this world, is ignorance?

Selfish reasonings, False belongings,
Empty regrets, False pretense...

Mourning our nurtured and spoiled souls
while those who have lost so much
make the means of day more worth living.

Lonliness succombs to habit,
Habit succombs to fear,
Fear succombs to enclosed tombs,
as enclosed tombs become
our destiny,
our routine.

We love not without fear
but
instilled with so much fear
that we do not realize the special gift
we have received,
but take it for granted.

We laugh not without restraints
but
instilled with so many restraints
that we do not enjoy the moment
but regret not harvesting the moment
after it has occured.

The beauty that lives inside each and every one of us
is trapped beneath a sheet of glass
lined with silver and gold,
lying dormant in the soul
to which we do not reach
until our lives are fatally about to end.

The end arrives and we are submerged
into the black we had allowed to lead our lives,
while the happiness is now only but a dream
we wish we could grasp.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder,
but what happens when our lives are lead by black,
the beauty slowly dying..
becomming but a dream?
