NOT KNOWING
Clouds your judgement…governs what you think.
Leads you places not wise…takes you to the brink.

NOT KNOWING
Destroys  your confidence…whispers lies in your ear.
Paints the world black and white…tells you what you want to hear.

NOT KNOWING
it was a dangerous path, I scurried in abandoned bliss.  
The world opened its arms to me. The joy was mine to kiss.
I never looked for the evil…
NOT KNOWING
  It was all around.
So while I never suspected, it brought me to the ground.

You cannot fall if the world lies flat.
You cannot feel in your slumber.   No Seeing.  No going.
Just the occasional dream…
Perhaps you’re better off
NOT KNOWING.
