The First Act

The First Act



Interpretation of dialogue script,
Lacks clarification and significance.
Knowledge is power to the cunning,
The puppet master starts the show.

Whispers of flawed reviews and commentary, 
Opportunity has demonstrated itself.
Seize the power to sway,
Strings are easily controllable.

The unguarded spectators wear thick glasses,
Rose in colour ... oblivious.
Water turning thicker than blood,
The puppets manoeuvre with ignorance.

Chaos fills the auditorium,
The audience speechless, bewildered.
The master empties the cash box, 
The performance is now closed.
