Infection of the Mind

Ignorance, man's greatest vice,

rests lightly on our shoulders,

Intimate and pleasant.

A fanciful charade,

put on by a firmly rooted monster.

difficult to acknowledge,

harder still to shed,

a parasite burrowing deep


into our skulls,

our thoughts,

our beliefs.


The author's comments:

I was motivated to write this piece by my frustration with peoples unwillingness to learn or acknowledge peoples differences. And this is how I see ignorance.
