“I Guess You Saw a Lot of Action, Huh?”

 

Don’t

 

You and I weren’t there; it’s none of our business

They will talk about it among themselves

Politely excluding us, as they should

Mostly each will grapple with it in the dark

 

Alone

 

You and I weren’t there; it’s none of our business

They might become more open when they are old

When God speaks to them from the desert and plain

But the decision is theirs; it is their pain

 

Theirs

 

You and I weren’t there; it’s none of our business

Don’t ask

Don’t even speak

Just leave it alone
