Stubborn Ignorance

Fire

The source for sadness is insurmountable

And the ever increasing fate of impending mortality heightens

The initial conscious awakening to the comforts of death

Invisible indelible inevitable persecution upon the deeply weaken downtrodden

Where does alone originate within the human spirt

Alone in the streets to circumstance

Alone feeling lonely at the top in thought or opinion

Confronted with the tireless stubborn ignorance of status quo minds

Where mediocrity takes refuge in cowardice

And indifference trumps the “radical” thinker’s pilgrimage

While the scars of inequity of the poor and the vulnerable bleed fester linger

Seated deeply in the psyche of the comfortable and privileged

The unchallenged belief systems that curry favor to stagnant behavior

Impacted mind sets by the voices of others

Never reading never thinking never growing needless suffering

Stubborn ignorance

And who will rescue the veterans the sick the maimed war stressed

And wondering among the homeless and vulnerable to the land

And the aged contained within the bounds of poverty drugged to sustain longevity

Still the passive followers unaffected by reality stand firm with animosity

Contentment reins among the elite the distracted the rich

Among those dwell the thoughts of an also-ran whose time has come

Where does life turn for the restless and tired in the battle for justice equality

How to escape the psychopathic behaviors that embody and control

How might personal circumstance bind and imprison superficial pause

The cries in anguish and frustration at mind boggling evidence

Corruption and manipulation of the thoughtless and uninformed rise in numbers

Heads buried deeper than the ostrich

Freedom only comes from the people enlighten people involved

Those who stand solid in collective resistance for unwavering truth

Those who feel the destruction of the land

Those who live by integrity and human kindness

Those who know the love and taste the faith of humanity despite hapless frustration

And those who die for truth bringing meaningful engagement for change

The world in chaos cries desperately through Mother Nature

Appealing to God and all gods for redemption resolution

In reflection all seem unyielding to the sins of man out of control

Only the role models of living life that reflects love for humanity will save the world
