#ignoranceisbliss
Well the eyes are the windows to the soul,
A throne for all the thoughts
ruled by self control.
Too well they are dismayed,
fooled by faux gold
But I tend to find my dreams are fine,
if I keep them closed.

'Woke'?
What does it even mean?
Is it exploding on social media over that viral video showing a racist incident?
Is it challenging the status quo in your everyday life?
Or is it being oversensitive and angry all the time?
It's more than all of that.
It's constantly seeing racism, patriarchy and capitalists flourish,
while you can hardly keep you and yours nourished.
It's constantly wanting to speak out but realising you're just a number
whose voice won't disrupt the masses' slumber.
I'm tired of being woke.
I want to think a lot less,
Be more reckless,
And learn to be happy with a lot less.

Couldn't you spare a glance?
Couldn't you spare a smile?
Couldn't you spare a hey?
Couldn't you spare an indicator that you acknowledge my existence?
