Nobody Knows
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Nobody knows,
Those troubles yet seen.
Nobody knows,
What those troubles may bring.
And...
Nobody knows,
Who is behind the scenes.
Hoping to double up on those troubles.
Can they get a witness?
No!
Can they get a witness?
No!
But, can they get a witness?
No!
Nobody has a witness?
No!
People are made to panic and fear.
That which yet has to appear.
People are made to expect and accept.
Everything rumored heard to hear.
What comes next.
But...
Can they get a witness?
No!
Nobody has a witness?
Noooo!
People everywhere prepare to re-act.
To assumptions that are not facts.
And people everywhere are looking to attack.
What is not close or near their backs.
No.
Nobody knows,
Those troubles yet seen.
Nobody knows,
What those troubles to them bring.
And...
Nobody knows,
Who it is behind the scenes.
Hoping...
What they do will create troubles.
And, nobody has a witness?
No!
Nobody has a witness?
No!
NOBODY HAS A WITNESS?
No!
Yet...
Prepared they are to fear.
Whatever they've heard rumored to hear.
And...
Nobody has a witness.
Nobody has a witness.
Nobody has a witness.
No.
Nobody has a witness!
