Ignorance
Though the memory
Be vague,
I'm told that in
The Time of Plague
Across Europe,
Far and wide,
Twenty million people
Died.
Of the population then,
I've heard,
About a third.
Also odd,
In their ignorance
They blamed
The Wrath of God.
Future generations
Will be wiser now
Because
We've shown
That all alone
Ignorance was
Sufficient cause.
