Bliss or Reality

Some people are Pollyanna,
For happy they choose to be.
Ignoring the evil around them,
And seem blind to reality.

Oh, don’t say anything negative,
And controversy do not speak.
I hear them say that all the time,
But in knowledge, they are weak.

Ignorance is bliss.
In a way, I guess that’s true.
I have heard that many times,
Like what you don’t know can’t hurt you.

Ignorance is a problem,
And to not know can hurt you.
Although knowledge can make you sad,
It is something you should do.

A fool can be happy, and
In his folly he has no clue,
That the dangers that lies ahead of him,
Are what he rushes to.

Although ignorance may seem like bliss,
And Pollyanna you would be,
Knowledge is to be preferred,
For the truth can set you free.
