Ignorance is Strength

Ignorance;
The greatest gift
The worst punishment

Ignorance is power
Ignorance is strength
Only in the hands of the powerful
For the powerful
Use it as a weapon or a tool
The powerful use it to rule

Ignorance is unknown
Until enlightened
Ignorance is blissful
Until you know
Then it is hell

You know the wrongs that occur
Yet, you have no power to stop it
Left powerless and hopeless
Looking for a chance to help
Looking for a way to overthrow the powerful

But
The powerful are  powerful for a reason
They are corrupt
They know no limit
They will do anything to keep their power
Even destroy the enlightened
