Which way did he turn
when the picture was taken?
All along the flashbulb burned.
Mid-stride, the focused eye
began to wander.
Before his head had turned.
A single face captured in the moment
tells the story of what was before it.
The question left, the pondered issue is
do we believe or ignore it still?
do we believe or ignore it still?
What were they thinking then
was the hurry at the time?
All along the flashbulb burned.
The shirt he wears is clean and new
his hues are shining.
His whole lifetime is then an no time else.
A single face captured in the moment
tells the story of what was before it.
The question left, the pondered issue is
do we believe or ignore it still?
do we believe or ignore it still?
Which way did he turn
when the picture was taken?
All along the flashbulb burned.
