So Many Questions

Harmony Mendelow 1945 (Brooklyn, New York)

November 23 


                   So Many Questions

            There are so many questions
                    But so few answers
              And the ones that are there
                        Are they true ??

            Can you believe what you hear
                Does it cause you to fear
            That the more you draw near
              It will seem more unclear

              You spot something real
            Which makes you then feel
              You're on the right track

          Or is it a layer on top of a layer
                     On top of another
                  You have to pull back

           Who pulls the strings on this
                       "Puppet Show"
     The master planner we don't know

                 A cast of thousands
                     Playing their act

                Rehearsing their lines
                Which sound like fact
