it’s taken years
decades even
to silence the frustration within me
fomented by the uneducated, misinformed and willfully ignorant
the things they say are detrimental
to our well-being and existence on this planet
cohabitation with those who wish us harm
is not the kind of world i want to live in
they wouldn’t know an informed decision
even if it came up and introduced itself
no progressive action stands a chance in the hands of the stupid
as they continue to breed disinformation
while i fear for our future
i’m learning to let go of unproductive anger
and turning off the desire to engage
or even trying to educate a non-existent intellect
they are beyond help
they are the die-hard ignorant amongst us
i will leave it to the professionals
to change their minds and hearts
