Ignorance

It saddens me to no end how people tend to be so ignorant. In their ignorance, they choose also to be blind and deaf, hearing only the things they want to hear. They preach, yet constantly contradict themselves because their pride is too strong and they would not dare question the authorities that tell them who God is and what truth is. They preach Love, yet all of the actions are empty of that very word as they shove it down the throats of their very own children. Their religion rules them, and without even knowing it, they walk into darkness because it is strictly blind faith that they follow. They preach that it's God who's will be done, yet for fear of offending religious peers, they go on smiling and pretending that there is no greater truth to be followed beyond what is comfortable and acceptable in their circle. In this their ignorance is their choice, and their love means nothing to the world beyond that small circle they reside in.

You would mock a man who is truly searching for truth, simply wanting feedback so that he can keep searching while thinking, all the while calling him an idiot behind his back? Tell me this is Christian love, and I will tell you that you are a wolf in sheep's clothing. Call me bitter? You are blind.

Ignorance is bliss for you, but at least in the next life you will know exactly what decisions you have made and what you can learn from them. I now question every line that I walk, because I know that if even the most minute thing be off, then I will eventually venture into a wasteland.

Ignorance is too readily available for the world, while it is never justifiable.
What is it exactly that you will tell him when the time comes?

So I ask you what is the truth
why have I moved
from a place I thought so strong in my mind
to a place of uncertainty
Searching, but leaving some behind?
What is right
where is the light
it was only in your words
that you love was somehow apparent
but somehow, now
as I've been away
I realize that the beliefs from which I've strayed
are the only ones who's followers
are the actions of love
Delayed.
Leaders would say
that there was no right
and no reason for ignorance
yet, your ignorance is your outlet
you don't realize where you stand
and that is why
you think you have the upper hand.
your truth so far-
the numbers don't keep growing
this is why I keep going
farther away.
It is not God or Truth,
It's only yours thus far
that I question.
