I Wonder

I Wonder !

At the age of 6, I wondered
Did Mary really have a little lamb
Did Jack and Jill go up the hill

Did Humpty Dumpty really sit on the wall
Was Ba Ba Black sheep gifting out wool

Did the London Bridge really fall down
Or did the 3 mice really run up the clock

Now at 35 I wonder

Is Osama really a very bad person
And is Bush just a better version

Is every country minding it's own business
or is our knowledge limited to a reporter's finesse ?

Do we really know what's to happen
of the future of our country, or of this world ,

I wonder, I wonder, ever so often !
