I Thought Knowledge Would Make Me Happy
I wish that I could close my eyes
go back to blindly believing lies
What I wouldn’t give to be a child again
to have faith and trust in other men
Alas my eyes may squint or blink
but they won’t stay closed, I am forced to think
Cursed to know what my neighbors supress
I’m surrounded by fools and loneliness
go back to blindly believing lies
What I wouldn’t give to be a child again
to have faith and trust in other men
Alas my eyes may squint or blink
but they won’t stay closed, I am forced to think
Cursed to know what my neighbors supress
I’m surrounded by fools and loneliness

If you truly know what I'm talking about in this poem, please send me a private message. There are too few of us today. We must band together, even if all we can do at this time is share ideas.

understand. How ignorant people can be, only looking at the facts and never believing or having trust in the minority. That kind of thing. It makes me want to scream.
