Ignorant

You wish to remain ignorant,

Hide your head in the sand,

Pretend things are not happening,

Yet here we are.

Caught in situations that are completely unreal,

You are caught within them,

Why can't you see?

You're still listening to the bullshit they spill,

Writhing around in their wrongdoing and their mess,

Happy in this pig sty with this stress.

You refuse to learn,

Or even research,

Happy to go along with the status quo,

Even though you seem to know nothing at all.

One day you shall wake up and despise yourself,

For being so pathetic and for letting them make you feel so worthless.

You never once tried to help yourself,

Shame on you!

You are a shameless mess.
