Oblivion brings light,
and color to a world.
A world knowledge turns gray.
The sun of the idiot is brighter,
brighter then that of the genius.
A blue sky,
calm like the windless ocean,
is dark and heavy for those who know the truth.
To tell a lie,
sinful.
To believe a lie,
nirvana.
A flow divine,
only from hands of the innocent.
We dampen our wonders,
with our lore.
Blissful state of being,
we achieve in our ignorance.
Content with being unaware,
we learn to love what is.
To fight it.
smites the artsy side of never knowing.

I can certainly relate to some of this; stupid people tend to lead happy lives merely because they don't think, but then again, there is a lot of joy to be had in thinking, in having to struggle against hordes of morons.
Ta for your entry!
