Well informed people balance and protect everyone. The cult of ignorance is a direct threat to everyone.
The educated citizen knows how much more there is to know. He knows that knowledge is power, more so than ever before. He knows that only an educated and informed people will be a free people, that the ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. -JFK

New #poem #poetry !

Been long enough, oof.
Freefall Impact You don’t pay me to do it You beg me all through it To sit with you While the sky is blue We watch world fall Into a freefall Waiting for impact We tense and sit back Your lips your hands your eyes Are with me in demise We slip up through the sky And watch them kill and die The wield sound and falls Into a failed state of walls And while we all turn to stone I know I’ll never be alone (Segment of the full poem in link)
