Ignorance is bliss.

Look at you
You tread fearfully on the edge
Tiptoes on the thread of space and time
To you it is a straight line, that begins and ends with you;
That self-importance is so comical.
You stand at the peak of this ball of rock
where you live to die
and you’re rewarded for your compliance to the cause.
You don’t have to worry about the consequences
Of your actions,
So carelessly put together,
A recipe for a successful disaster
You are the chef, the master,
of course only you matter, just ignore the chatter of everyone else.
Greet all those beneath you with a friendly sneer,
With the mask behind which you dance, my dear,
The smiles, the toothy grins of ignorance
Because ignorance is bliss after all
and you’re having a ball.
Everyone’s a genius,
And the wisdom of the fool has the greatest weight of all.
the scales of society are balanced
with a pound of good gold and morality
and the righteous hypocrisies of the masses
because we are all brothers in arms
fighting courageously in the war against ourselves
self destruction is just another function
another button built into the robots that we have become.
You walk,
you walk the tight rope now
nothing but a clown
a joke to be watched by the crowd
because all the friends who cheered you on are
faceless faces among the spectators waiting for you to fall
and you are just one of them too,
and you’d do the same
because its all fun and games and harmless executions
so just line up and wait your turn.
Jump onto the conveyor belt
its your lucky day, you just won a one way ticket
to the Machine
and if you don’t make it out alive, its fine
you’ll still be a fully functioning cog sold for dimes.
We’re all going to die anyway right
And that old thread of space and time
It must cut off at the point you cant see it with your naked eye
And so when we die
We don’t have to worry about our actions in this life
Its not like theres anything beyond this brief little flicker of time
Don’t let that thought occupy your mind
Just relax and think of useless things
And smile and laugh and
enjoy this.

Because ignorance is bliss.
