                IGNORANCE
            By ... Steve Lucky

Easier it seems to live in darkness
Than waste time worrying about the problems of the world.
Whether one wants to know about them or not,
Such problems tend to find people at inconvient times.
Dirty furniture is not cleaned by turning out a light.
Unless someone cleans it, the dirt and dust will remain.
Real problems almost always get back into the lives
Of those who attempt to avoid them.
Knowledge is a valuable tool for solving the world's problems.
Failed attempts to solve a problem are not wasted,
Because at least one will know
If possible the problem should be avoided.
Ways to better avoid them can also be learned.
Highly self destructive is ignorance to those hiding in it.
People must learn about the world around them
Just to have a chance of surviving it.
