If ignorance is bliss, why are so few
of us enraptured by our current state,
imagining so much left us to do
and in a worried struggle with our fate?
That does not seem so blissful or serene.
We try, but often miscommunicate
and fail to share with others what we mean.
This leaves us in the dark, and quite alone,
afraid that our own shadows are obscene.
It does no good to live life like a stone.
The human spirit cries to become more,
to grow and learn beyond mere flesh and bone.
If ignorance is merely our cocoon,
we must try metamorphosis – and soon.
