at the forest wall

    you tell me what i do not need to know
    so much of history is needless pain
    this is an ending not a thing will grow

    the radio blares another boring show
    we wait and wait for one more healing rain
    you tell me what i do not need to know

    i read and feel my brain growing more slow
    under what seems an ever-growing strain
    this is an ending not a thing will grow

    i see the green has got a midday glow
    it is so obvious and frankly plain
    you tell me what i do not need to know

    we write the rules in terms from long ago
    and then we do not keep them in the main
    this is an ending not a thing will grow

    stand where you will that cannot pause the woe
    we find so much that might remove the stain
    you tell me what i do not need to know
    this is an ending not a thing will grow
