Dark Minds Hinder Progress

Depths of darkness, where ignorance resides,
A realm of minds unwilling to abide.
Refusing knowledge, a choice self-made,
A burden heavy on progress laid.

Darkened thoughts, a stagnant sea,
Resistance to the waves of wisdom free.
In evolution's dance, they stand apart,
A weight upon the beating heart.

Society's advance, a relentless climb,
Yet, they linger, chained to their own time.
The unwilling learners, a solemn thread,
Where prideful ignornance reigns and truth is dead.

Oh, let the light of learning pierce the night,
Ignite the minds that shun the insightful light.
For in the grasp of knowledge, we find release,
A key to unlock the shackles, grant us peace.
