Ignore

There was a pounding upon my front door I never answered it, so I heard it no more Then I noticed clutter upon my kitchen floor So I closed my eyes that mess I did ignore. I looked at my finger and thought of a ring I once wore Which was a symbol of the love that I had before Now that love and truth, I will never restore So thinking about love and marriage, I do ignore. I left my house to head to the store Then the rain it came, and it began to pour Then came the lightning and the thunders roar And that storm as well, I did ignore. Then while shopping, I noticed it was about four People in the market were talking about religion and war I heard children crying and saw people that were sore And to them all, I did happily ignore. I met a young woman outside whom seemed very poor She was asking for help and nothing more Some men called her trash, some women called her a whore I gave her some money, the hypocrites I did ignore When I arrived home I thought furthermore Some of past thoughts and memories I again did explore I then pulled out a book from my dresser drawer Then about the world and others, I did ignore.
