Known But Unspoken
by Anton Etch 2022

Was she right when she said...
"Some things you don't wanna know..." ?                   
they're known but unspoken                                                  
by those who are broken
and further along down the road

No need to follow the news    
there's no truth in any of it all...
When a new book is written
and everyone's smitten
best go read somethin' old

You can plug up your ears with these words                              
as the spring turns to fall
the past reaches over
and points to the future
the present isn't here at all

---  

When the centre can't hold 
and the honest are forced to  fold 
when fools are rewarded
 and the wise ignored
carrying on seems absurd  

It's harder to hear this aloud
from someone you know, who is close
It's easier said
by those who are dead
than someone alive in your world

Was she right when she said...
"Some things you don't wanna know..." ?                       
they're known but unspoken                                                   
by those who are broken
and further along down the road
