' Disengaged Ignorance '
by Richard J. Panizza

Hey you
Sitting right over there

Drowning in silence and salience toward your
Self rewarded disengaged ignorance

No sound of a higher call to ever hear a rightful
Demanded ethic of human pain and to be your
Free and willful intent

From cognitive pestilence and self presiding
Indifference

I see you walking
Stipulated and stifled to be indentured by those
Whom of which are the contented dead

The only fait you will decree

The means of pretence that only the blinded shall
Ever only see
