Puppetry
When everything you say is scripted,
you can't choose your words,
for your brain does not even function on your will.
You're like a puppet that moves
by the flick of your master's fingers
and speaks by the will of his mind,
in a show where you are only
paid as an extra.
Do you think a stone cares much about what
puppets say, when they don't even speak
according to their thoughts because they
themselves have no idea about what they
say or whom or what they speak about?
