Generational And Unending

Many are finding their battle against ignorance,
To be generational and unending.
And the biggest enemy humanity has.

A defense to keep ignorance alive and kicking,
Has its evidence in the empty minds,
Threatened by the slightest signs of intelligence.

And anyone suspected of having intelligence,
Is immediately questioned...
As to where they contacted this disease.

With a seeking of a cure,
To end its effectiveness.
In the hopes of keeping ignorance forever accepted.
