Words that can’t be said?

There seem to be

Certain things that should never be said

Certain questions that should never be asked.

But why?

Do they cause war

Do they cause famine

Do they make chaos

And cause men to die?

If so then cut my tongue out now

So I may not be tempted to say them.

But if they don’t

Then why may we not say them? -John Barley
