Manipulation

Manipulation
Pressing the buttons that count
       Refined seduction


          Manipulation
Of puppets on strings controlled
      By hidden agendas

Oh Paul, a provocative pair; one of seduction and the other of control. Together they rule kingdoms and countries and have altered the course of history! Each beautiful and perfect in the message they convey. Both are thought provoking, intelligent and clever - but I wouldn't expect anything less from your keen intellect, my friend. Warmest wishes always.. :)) ~Susan

I really enjoyed this one; a duo of distinctly different definitions... or a pair of polarising perspectives. Nice write!

Thank you Judith for stopping by and commenting. Well, I do my best to try and manipulate people's minds through the use of a haiku :) // paul

Thank you James; I'm glad you like them. I think Haiku is such a good tool...even though somewhat stubborn at times! Welcome to pop in any time // paul
