Giving It Space And Lots Of Distance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why waste time and a conscious mind,
Commenting on expressed ignorance.
Left alone to speak for itself,
No longer should offend...
Those still pretending they have a defense,
That repeatedly protect themselves against it.

Giving it space and lots of distance,
Instead of the attention that ignorance gets...
Helps to isolate this kind of illness,
With a hope it eventually dies...
Without feeding it reason or an appetite to live.
Or trying to find a cure for its anticipated death!
