Ignorance is Bliss
They say
But Bliss is not but Shit
To Be a Lotus Eater While The World is Burning Down
Makes you Either a Asshole or a Clown
I rather seek Happiness then Bliss
Even If I can Never Obtain It.
Because at Least Then I will Know my Joy was not at the Cost of My Soul.

They Tell You to Get a Education Son
Then They Tell You It's better to be Dumb
But I’ve learned not all Knowledge is worth the same
Greatest are the humanities
But these are the ones they valves least
For Science can only lead us to a better day
When greed and hate are not its aim.

The Salt of the Working Man Is worth a lot
The Gold of Rich Man not so much
For Salt will help me live
But the Gold is not but lead
And if you ask me who is more skilled
Well it's not the rich man’s burgers that I’d eat.
Three by three the Great Ones came, to fight the horrid Demon flame
One was cripeled and left to weep
Two were slain, lost to the Demon’s heat
Six would not give in to their doom, and so encased the Demon in their roots.
They burned and bled, but their grasp did hold, becoming the pillars of the world.
Bark to stone, sap to ore, from the ash was clay and soil born.
Their leaves did become the bed of life, tears of the Weeper formed oceans and pools.
And when they no more to shed, the Weeper turned pale and curled and dead.
Up in the sky forever to shine upon us its silver light.
