Ignorance is freedom
How can it be
we say
as a species
we are intelligent
how can it be
we say
as a race
we are civilized
when
it is us that allows
directed chaos
to bring us
to our knees
yet
as a people
we believe we are free
from the darkness
of our own ignorance
that we are told
this is
your freedom

Nice. Liked it.
Reminds me of my friend with whom I would have discussed the concept of humans being "civilised" and what is "freedom"
