                       “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
