Ignorance

Choosing not to know
something millions know
is a luxury

Whether it’s the nature
of oppression
or the story of the hot game

to choose to ignore
what’s in front of you
is an easy way

to segregate yourself
from your brothers
and sisters

and raise yourself
onto a pedestal so high
you can see

only the long view
of the ants below
while you pat yourself on the back

for your superior
vision
and grasp
