Ignorance Is Bliss

It really is a beautiful thing,
Being a child. Your
Ignorance to the world and
Everything happening around
You is something that can only
Be cherished once you've been
Transformed. As the world outside
Of your house is slowly having a
Meltdown, you continue to play games
While your parents preach over and over,
“Everything is going to be okay.”
You turn a blind eye to the drama
Of the world and mind your own business.
The world is invisible to you.
You only exist in your own little bubble.

Now you are transformed into a robot.
A robot who slaves over the same job
Day in and day out. You take part
In the daily grind, as you daydream
Of what you once were, what you
Once had. An ignorant mindset.
Something that cannot be purchased,
Nor made. However it is one of the
Most valuable things you can own.
And that is when you realize, that
Ignorance truly is bliss.
