Lost in the fog
of self-induced
ignorance,
young minds spin
silently

Nice piece, Joanie, captures the frustration that the speaker seems to feel and the hopelessness of the situation - how to break through to them. I like the idea of minds spinning, and somehow it was a counter to the first part of the poem, a redeeming feature of the ignorance, perhaps?

Joanie, these lines encapsulate a frighteningly accurate assessment of a hopeless situation, expressed most effectively through your choice of words. The images evoked are powerful and the over all effect of the poem is very moving.
Thanks for sharing such a thought provoking piece.
Best wishes for future inspiration!

tc, yes, I think the ending is a ray of hope!
Barlow, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the 'frighteningly accurate'!

i thought it read really well, so few words yet such a large meaning behind them.
