All around I see the cruel effects of ignorance,
especially when victims try to achieve a goal.
And still some dare to call it brilliance.

They attack with their ruthless belligerence,
like a lion's slaughter at the watering hole.
All around I see the cruel effects of ignorance.

They lack the most basic concrete evidence
with only nonsensical lies to dole
and still some dare to call it brilliance.

What brought about this vicious intolerance?
It seems spite continues to take its infinite ****** toll.
All around I see the cruel effects of ignorance.

They make life for others a dreadful experience
and each are happy with their life's devilish role.
And still some dare to call it brilliance.

Their minds think it's an act of benevolence
when really they steal the light of someone's soul.
All around I see the cruel effects of ignorance
and still some dare to call it brilliance.
It's a villanelle.
