The laughter of children peices the silence
i look up momentarily from my book
too see two 9 yr old girls
giggiling as they whisper to each other
i shake my head
all i wanted was a nice bus ride
a queit bus ride
these girls,
so full of life,
interupted that
i envy them
i envy their ignorance
i guess its really true
ignorance is bliss
if only they knew
if only they knew how much pain the world was in
how much suffering there is
but they dont
so they'll just play on
happy
carefree
i guess it really is true
ignorance is bliss...

I like the feelings you're expressing in the poem. I only suggest you correct the grammar and spelling. And perhaps increasing your vocabulary would enhance your work. You have a good view of the world and youself. Keep writing.

I have only my genius to declare!

I think true bliss is when we KNOW but we still can find serenity and joy of life within our hearts. Laughter is healing.
Your poem paints a very vivid scene.
Love, Margherita

Don't spoil it for them just yet!!
It's a timely process indeed,
and our innocense doesn't last long enough.
