My choice of ignorance

 

My choice of ignorance

 

Lie to me, please!

Shelter me in your mind cacoon.

I choose to sparkle

in your imaginary sunlight

Instead of fading away

in the shadows of reality.

I choose to have childlike ignorance

We can play and pretend for hours

that the streets are safe at night.

I choose to dance to our

make-believe music,

ignoring the real cries out there.

Shelter me from

the ugliness of this

       fallen world;

I have chosen to live

unaware of Their hurt.

I love love love love this! It has such powerful undertones....my fave so far!!! I like the the idea of being lied to in order for this world to appear as clean and unmolested as it is...very nice!
