Is Ignorance Bliss?

I hear them tell me ignorance is bliss
But what they dont know is this
They can take a hike
Ill think what I like
Its just an excuse not to acknowledge
That people around them are on the edge
Of saying something they really shouldnt
They want to but they know they couldnt
Retaliation is a gyp
Truth turns into a hurtful quip
The tables are spun around
Until the truth comes shattering to the ground
In a pile of hate
And by then its too late
To bite your tongue and pretend
Like it never happened again and again
So when you feel like telling me
That speech is a privilege and isnt free
Ill turn myself around and shake my head
If free speech goes from here, what then?
Hallelujah, Amen and Praise
To all of those who will raise
The point of bringing up the problem
And bring it crashing down upon them
The trouble that theyre causing
The secrets theyre applauding
The nonsense they churn out day and night
Not knowing, caring if theyre right
They have their groups, their huddles, their mass
Believing in their minds that theyre first class
When really they need to know
That class and tattling doesnt go
Together in a perfect group
Gossiping for the perfect scoop
It makes no sense, what is ignorance for?
So those of us better can take the floor
And prove to them that they were wrong
And that we knew this all along
So if you hear ignorance is bliss
Just give that conversation a miss

On the other hand, if ignorance is bliss, then there are some very blissful people around at times.
Nice poem.
Take care,
