We Don't Want to Know

We don’t want to know – we don’t want to know

How will we ever learn what we don’t want to know?

Stick a shovel in the ground; take the time to sift the dirt

Trust the process, if it’s sound – dig on in and do the work

What is buried in the sand might could prove the story true

Don’t dismiss it out of hand while you cradle your world view

Able bodies burrow deep – go on and bring these things to light

Give faith a shorter leap from an excavation site

If we’re jumpy in the sun – unnerved when we can see

May as well just sleep right through the Year of Jubilee

Like a resurrected rose of Jericho

We could rise if we find water in the cracks of this plateau
