The Samba of Ignorance, by Charles Carreon
(Sing with Carlos-Montalban-pronunciation to a sinuous, sultry beat )
Not everybody likes to dance
Afraid they are of sweet romance
Preferring the samba of ignorance
Inside my rigid thought construction
No mechanism of reproduction
Just the boring noise of self destruction
Oh, samba of ignorance
So sweet entwining passionless
Of concrete make my party dress
The danger's clear my sweet companion
No daring drives through passion's canyons
Go straight to lovers leap and jump in
Oh, samba of ignorance
I can afford it, a small expense,
Free speech is just an extravagance
Oh, samba of ignorance
Let's dance it now and take no chance
Eliminate all happenstance
Oh, samba of ignorance
I'm blinded in your twisting arms
Safe from knowledge and from harm.
(This poem is really about Juan C. Aragon, creator of Buddhistboards.com, who operated under the false name of Bernardo Aragon during 2002-2003. Apologies to the true Bernardo Aragon, who probably is guilty of nothing more than knowing Juan.)
