Watch Out! (To My Virtual Brother)
Watch out, my boy, watch out: the ones you trust
Know everything, except for what they can't.
I see the things they miss, and now I must
Decide whom I shall tell, and whom I shan't.
By trying to protect you, they keep out
The most important news that must be known
While gossipers spread rumours all about;
The damage you might have to bear alone.
I still think that these wrongs can be adjusted;
If only they'd believe I can be trusted!...
