Ignorance Poems
Words Die
by C Duggan
Words die when there is nobody to speak them,
Lips no longer mouth the syllables of free thought,
speech,
human emotion.
How far will censorship go?
Take away our words,
stories,
histories.
Generations are blind to the real connection,
craving sustenance,

Edmund Dorf
by Richard Johnson
Gaslight poured upon Berlin
Masking the cobbled tapestry
A smoke screen for the bourgeoisie
To blinding the rich from happenings
Sitting under dying neon
Are the local girls and whores
Who’s anger-coaxed blood is quickly mopped
By the smokey-glazed floor
I forgot to crack a smile

Qabuli Paloa
by Precious Whispers
Out of love and sometimes bleak
do they create me to existence.
Together with my colleague,
Who's lying there in a distance.
The ear-splitting sound of pottery
Cutlery all over the place.
And I – I was sat upon the corner.
So I wouldn’t escape, just in case.

When the world becomes blind
by Mario Odekerken
When the world becomes blind,
truth stands unnoticed in the open,

Bloodline
by Olawale Owoeye
So where did you meet this man?
This unknown man in your blood
This man that dries your riotous river,
This man that mounts mountain in your mind

This remnant of your man....
Your father
This soleless sandal of your parent,

"A bridge that leads nowhere."
by Dylan Wu Rong
Maybe it was too huge of a dream,
a fantasy that I desired deeply upon,
poured out my heart completely,
bare and naked for all the eyes to see.
and amidst those blinking pupils,
were those of beast never seen,
monsters that did things insane.
Yet, blinded by my desire, I was blind to the truth around.
The earth stopped me from moving, but I leaped across and went,
the wind held me back, yet I fought until the end,

Ignorance
by Peter Dr Lim
You already had the best
but somehow in ignorance
you were not at all impressed
