This week’s prompt for Friday Writings, at Poets and Storytellers United is “be genuine / in life and ink / rebel against hypocrisy.”
Just Because
Just because
you don’t want to learn nor understand,
basic knowledge becomes misinformation to you.
Just because
you don’t believe the facts
based on the knowledge
you don’t want to learn and understand,
lies become your truth.
Just because
what you thought was love had hurt you,
now nobody can have love.
I sing joy, love, happiness, and peace,
just because.

Oh, very nicely said! And i so agree.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary.
DeleteTurn it around. Reminded me of this quote: "Ridiculous conspiracy theories are fast food for lazy thinkers. It lets them feel like they’re in the know without going through the hard work and discipline necessary to base your ideas on reality." - Lee Thé / Quora
ReplyDeleteI like that quote! Thanks, Colleen.
DeleteTrue that!
ReplyDeleteWish it wasn’t.
DeleteYes indeed !
ReplyDeleteThere are two people I know on the extreme different sides of ideology (in my family). One because it is what all her peers believe (let's her fit in) and the other because it makes her 'special', 'in the know', 'part of an elite group'... at least that is how it seems to me. When you just accept something as true without digging into for yourself you are just asking to be used.
ReplyDelete"you don’t want to learn and understand, lies become your truth." Exactly right.
Peer pressure doesn’t go away for many people. There are safety in numbers, especially if liked by the group. So, I think.
DeleteSigh. Very true.
ReplyDeleteDouble sigh.
DeleteAnd I echo your song! This is lovely. And necessary, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Magaly!
DeleteIf we aren't willing to learn, we're not willing to grow. It's important to remain open to that joy, love and happiness.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteThis is lovely, Su-sieee, and I agree.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe world could use more joyful songs
ReplyDeleteMost definitely, Rommy!
