Why does it hurt to know what others don't?
Who is to know?
My heart is laying upon the floor,
shattered and broken.
I knew what no one else would know,
but to share my knowledge
would be unspeakable.
Ignorance leads them,
thinking leads me.
My friends have left.
Glaring at me with anger.
"Why did you say that?
He will be very angry!"
They snarl.
I walk down to the basement,
My last paradise.
I miss a step and tumble down.
I lay there helpless,
but my thoughts begin to stir.
Death takes its toll.
I was not sent into the clouds,
Nor was it the flames below.
I was left to wonder,
In silence, I walked,
I was happy.
My thoughts had questions
I had answers for them.
Suddenly I knew,
My thoughts were wrong.
Believers were wrong.
We were all wrong
"Ignorance is the only evil."
-Socrates
