Blind be My Eye

ignorance truly is bliss

Blank be thy stares to the evils of the man
Blind be my eye and ignorance my helping hand
If ignorance is bliss then god make me blind
For I do not wish to see this evil that shines

This may be a bad a*s poem, but I don't quite 'get it' - that doesn't mean it's not good. I'm confused by the apparent syllogism of the third line (the if, when phrase). That might be why I don't 'get' the whole thing. The message is clear enough, but getting there is tough for me. I like the rhythm of the poem and the subtle nature of the rhyming (man with hand and blind with shines). :-)

I really like what this poem is portraying. Pretty powerful stuff, has no need to be any longer or anything different. This is probably one of the best I've read of yours.

This is well written. It's pretty intense and emotional for such a short piece.

Once at a simmer...then again double-time. Bring in the harmonica.
