stupidity is not bliss

by Michele Schottelkorb

cover ash trees in blood-kisses
homage paid to the greater good
the stand of vipers conquered
a small part of neonland
 
rise up to challenge the oblivious
stupidity does not equal ignorance
to know not is innocence
to see not is inexcusable
 
devour fluorescent droplets of shame
and excrete chains of hypocrisy
for in the realm of the unknown
truth is waiting for resurrection

Author's Note: see through the neon facade...

as I've alway suspected ignorance not to be blissful as say the bloody cliche makers but bloody brilliant, this fare of yours whose word usage is telling that you care not to employ them in ways of ignorance, but in ways that reveal where your eyes and heart and conscience have touched.

a most insightful piece of writing Michele, rich in imagery, with a touch or the surreal...a nice combination indeed! well done!

'to know not is innocence to see not is inexcusable' There's nothing I can add.'stupidity does not equal ignorance'You said it in definite terms.
