WHOSE HAND? Nancy White. Multinan. SOCAN. April 2004
  • Whose hand was on the hand?
  • Who turned a blinkered eye?
  • Whose pin unlocked the code?
  • Who elected not to fly?
  • Who had a kind of inkling?
  • Whose warning was in vain?
  • Who knew what and when
  • Who stood to gain?
  • Who never got the message?
  • Who didn't comprehend?
  • Who flew out of the country?
  • Who was a family friend?
  • Who walked with a dark agenda
  • In power's corridor?
  • Who sought a grand excuse?
  • Who itched to go to war?
  • I don't know, do you?
  • I can't say, can you?
  • I'd just like some answers,
  • Which rumours might be true?
  • I'm a bit of a curious girl.
  • Who wouldn't share the info?
  • How did such a big fish get missed?
  • Who wouldn't put Saudi charities
  • On the Washington terrorist list?
  • All those Arabs hanging at the flight schools,
  • Who never thought it odd?
  • Who cried when the big crash came,
  • "How great is God!". How great is God!
    • I don't know, do you?
    • I can't say, can you?
    • I'd just like to get some answers,
    • It would be good to get some answers,
    • I'd like to get some answers --

     

  • Whose hand was on the hand? Who turned a blinkered eye?
  • Whose pin unlocked the code? Who elected not to fly?
  • Who had a kind of inkling? Whose warning was in vain?
  • Who knew what and when? Who stood to gain?
