The Tyranny of Ignorance

They say the loudest wins the crowd,
With hollow words and faces proud,
Where lies dance like marionettes,
While truth’s forgotten, lost in debts.

Promises slip like sand through a sieve,
They teach us to take, forget how to give.
Greed in the throne, with a smile of stone,
And virtue’s left wandering, out on her own.

[Chorus]
It’s the tyranny of ignorance, ruling with charm,
Blindfolds and sirens that sound the alarm.
In a world that’s lost its way, truth gets silenced,
The echoes of wisdom drowned out by violence.

They preach of power, of winning the race,
But is it victory or a hollow disgrace?
Deception wears the crown, parades as the prize,
While empathy fades under jaded skies.

Education abandoned, critical thought left behind,
Empty slogans are the currency of the blind.
For those who see, it’s a mournful sight,
Watching darkness dress itself as light.

[Chorus]
It’s the tyranny of ignorance, dressed to impress,
Pulling the strings in a tangle of mess.
Where the wise grow weary and the brave hold tight,
Clinging to truth in the gathering night.

But there’s a spark, a whisper, a call to be bold,
To dig for wisdom, to seek what’s untold.
A heart that questions, a mind that sees,
Can cut through the lies, can break the disease.

In the shadows they hide, those who still know,
That the power of kindness is what makes us grow.
They’re quiet but fierce, with eyes that are clear,
And their ripple is stronger than what we fear.

It’s the end of the tyranny, it crumbles to dust,
When wisdom and courage reclaim their trust.
For all who remember what’s truly right,
The dawn breaks softly, restoring the light.
