Hi Hivers,
This post is a little poem about not seeing what's in front of us I'm not much of a poet but I belive in a society that needs to change the way we look at social problems like homelessness drug addiction mental health I belive we need to start working from the bottom up I feel as if the everyday person gets so wrapped up there own lives as we go about our daily activities we don't see what truly around us or we don't want to acknowledge it we tend to think oh someone else will deal with it! Please take a look at this video LILLY ALLEN LDN! It's a music video where she walking down the road not seeing what truly around her this is society on a daily basis and this isn't all people some people are more aware of social problems than others.
THE BLISS OF IGNORANCE by Kelvin Pennington
How do I not see whats in front of me,
I walk on by wrapped up in my own bliss I do not have to see whats infront of me
For if I see whats truly around me it horrifies me!
As I stroll down the street and I choose not to see then these problems are not mine to keep!
The bliss of ignorance!
For if i was to see as i walk down the street I see a man under a blanket "Any spear change please?
A needle on the street,
I also see a theif,
I see hunger and poverty,
I See things I dont want to see, Things that might not let you sleep!
For if I came away from my bliss and started seeing what was around me I would notice our world is in chaos needles on the streets pandemics on a murder spree
The climate is changing society is breaking we all need to see what is truly there to see!
If you dream about change a fairer place to live well come away from your ignorant bliss!
Look around you open your eyes dont live in the lands of ignorance bliss for if we dont come togeather and act pretty soon! homelessness drug addiction racism all of the social issues we choose to ignore will continue once more!
If it dosn't affect me why see whats in really going on around me!
We all need to make changes come togeather and work togeather!
