Throw Out What You Know

Suzanne Mondoux · 7 December 2020

In the distance where all the soldiers have disappeared The manner in which they lived Their ship has sailed Throw out what you know of another This great big world dares not make us similar In the distance where some have walked and others not The unwanted images of others memories The stares in their eyes The shiver in their skin Throw out what you know of this great big world So beautiful the dreams you dare not share Some may have done it one way, others another Throw out what you know of how things are to be done In the wide and wild fields of life Many creatures roam The battles of many are the paradise of others Throw out what you know of humanity So sad the eyes of the many So sad the smiles of the many Throw out what you believe Don’t believe everything you think Know the difference to feel the difference Throw out what you know of me
