You Know

It's a beautiful garden

No scorching sun could kill

There's water for the rosebay

The roses drink their fill

But when you talk about old friends

You let the venom spill

And the tree you cut to stop the fruit from falling

By the pool

Is saying

You know you know

No telling where the world is going

You wish you were right on your own

Fix the way the winds are blowing

Silence their unforgiving moan

Because this bitter mask you're wearing says

You reap what you have sown

And since you can't help raging trying hard

To keep it cool

Then maybe

You know you know
