Genise Mace

I write therefore I am, & when I am so inclined I also paint. I hope you enjoy my sometimes bizarre artwork. I paint what I feel and I use whatever medium comes to mind or that is available at the time. My main form of expression is writing, hence the poem below however, I began painting seriously in 2011. The two usually go hand in hand a picture and story or poem.


"Ignorance is Bliss"
I choose not to know, I'd rather just not see, the world that is unfolding, unraveling before me.
Who am I to listen or keep a clear eye view? Life is more intriguing when we ponder what we do.

I believe that most are good the majorities alright I sleep a soundly slumber and my doors aren't locked at night.
You speak of wars and sorrow and things of future come, I say that's for the ignorant not the wealthy lettered one.
All will be fine our world is just evolving there's no culminating end of which mankind can not be solving.

So please cut your words and worry of my being from an ado, I don't foresee events nothing I can't breeze right through.
I'll not submit my person or will to gods not here, I'll believe it when I see it there's no reason for your fear.
I've done My own fine thinking, I live by My accord, this message ...
