lots of people.

lots of people                    
turning their heads away  
from the picture                
nobody sees -                
"it's not real"                  
i heard a man say,        
"you can't trust an eye    
if the eye isn't yours      
and if it's your eye it's best
to be blind."  

lots of people
quietly talking
whispering softly
so no one can hear -
"it's not happening"
i heard a man say,
"you can't trust a mouth
if the mouth isn't yours
and if it's your mouth it's best
not to say."

too many people
turning their heads away
from the picture
nobody sees -
"it didn't happen"
i heard a man say,
"you can't trust a mind
if the mind isn't yours
and if it's your mind it's best
not to know."
