What Do You Know

don't turn around to be longing at the mirror that just images the past of yourself float, leave behind all the Autumn leaves that fallen just discarded from the branch of that time. and if if you can could you sing into the wind all the memories that carried you down let them sing let them sing let them sing to someone else a tune they haven't heard maybe they will learn not to drift away let them sing let them sing let them sing to someone else someone that needs help with their life O god why do you do me no need to fool me o god O god why do you school me don't need to use me o god O god why do you choose me I just want you to lose me o god now say, now say again who are my friends NOW SAY! now say again... I need more of that intervention How much more water could I flow into your mouth without drinking it all this time that you have been searching when your all buried deep in it what could grow in a hallow mind if there's no words in feeding it If alone cherish all your life cause we don't no the end of it What's more to ask? What's more to do? What's more to feel? What else could I do? What happened to these? What happened some? Why not let die? Why not let live? Why not just take? Why not just give? Why not be slaved? Why not be free? Why not stay glued to the T.V. screen? Where are the heroes? Where are the saved? Where are the unused empty graves? Where are the children? Where are the old? Should we leave? Should we go? O God, tell me! tell me! What do you know!
