When Ignorance Is A Bliss Poem by Yehualashet Teshome

When Ignorance Is A Bliss



I am enslaved
And yet live in the shadow of democracy
Poor as a church mouse
But live in abundance
The perfect illusion
Ignorant as hell
But highly educated
The delusion of knowledge
Walk like a king
While being a beggar
Believe in eternity
Carrying a time bomb
Ready to explode
My body
Into nothingness
Triggered by nature
The sheer murderer
Oh, sweet ignorance
What a bliss
