Geoffrey Brewer Poet Rhyme

Soliloquy of a Puppetmaster 2020

Now is the summer of our discontent
Made glorious opportunity for change
And all the clouds that lower on our land
In the bosom of the media rearranged

While I who have no mind for fair concord
Determine to conspire and prove the fiend
And hate the idle pleasures life affords
Ensure conflict is harvested and gleaned

Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
To instigate a man against a brother
Black history I will exploit to thrust
In deadly hate one race upon the other 

Soft hearted folks I will manipulate
And play upon their heartstrings for my schemes
Their sympathy emotions shall dictate
Virtue signalling conformant to woke memes

To activate my hidden plan I’ll move
Self righteous useful pawns - give delegation
With peaceful protests (who could not approve?)
Though they shall lead to ruinous conflagration

The people will rise, call for a redeemer
When old regime has made a full contrition
To save the nation, be a chaos healer
I’ll, with reluctance, undertake the mission

Then my control shall be with iron fist
Surveillance of the people I’ll refine
And cohorts of young zealots I’ll enlist 
The name: ‘Beloved Leader’ shall be mine

Darlene De Beaulieu July 2, 2020 at 5:46 PM Hello Geoffrey Brewer, i think that the protest has gome on far too long. Too much destruction has been happening. Time to be peaceful. Enjoy your evening my friend. Geoffrey Brewer July 7, 2020 at 6:21 AM The protests have always had a hidden agenda. I agree that it is time for peace and reason to direct the discussions. Thanks for your feedback, Darlene. Geoffrey Brewer July 7, 2020 at 6:20 AM The protests have always had a hidden agenda. I agree that it is time for peace and reason to direct the discussions.

Andrea Dietrich June 25, 2020 at 4:19 PM Geoffrey, this could be any number of puppet masters. They are numerous today but wow, you are SPOT ON about the protests going on right now. Deplorable! Another poet (was it you?) wrote about the hundreds dying from violence in Chicago and yet all focus is now being put elsewhere. Every day we are flooded with propoganda and I am SO SICK of it. I wish everyone would just WAKE UP. Well done! (Joe DiMIno is so right here) Geoffrey Brewer June 25, 2020 at 10:00 PM Thank you so much for these comments, Andrea. They have really made my day. I sometimes feel like a voice crying in the wilderness on these subjects, and my wife tells me I should avoid the contentious in my poems and then might get more response. Bless you and keep writing from your own mind.

Joseph P. DiMino June 21, 2020 at 8:22 AM Brilliant write, Goeffrey! The Left was smart (in their stupidity) going after the minds' of youth early as Grade School. These kids think real hardship is being denied access to Social Media (or drugs or porn) on the internet. Any Police Reform Bill should include a course in High School (in order to graduate) on how to treat police respectfully -- This proposed solution to de-escalate conflict, by having social workers ride along with officers is total lunacy -- It will be a Deadly Disaster! Geoffrey Brewer June 21, 2020 at 10:31 AM I am so pleased to receive your response to this poem, Joe. I have had my suspicion that many have been fearful of making any comment on such a politically incorrect viewpoint. Thank you for having the courage to express agreement, and not giving way with propitiation to the current herd attitude.
