The puppet masters

A world built on secrets, masters who seek to destroy You play with our minds like a child with a toy. You put guns in the hands of innocents and tell them there is a war to be won. Putting nation against nation knowing a sea of blood over the lands will run. You abandon the old and indoctrinate the young and when the people speak out you silence their tongue You cause civil unrest by introducing new laws Then laugh at your tyranny behind closed doors. You squeeze every penny you can get out of hard working folk. High taxes and cost of living, their aggravation you gleefully provoke. You fill their heads with distractions, because to you its just a game. To bring a new world order to humanity has always been your aim. You build empires for your selves, how much money do you need ? People all over the world are starving because of your greed. You steel from the destitute, is the money really that good. Will it buy you redemption, do you think that it could? You hide your selves from us and your need to control. All the money you have made. will it buy back your soul ?

The real puppet masters are Satan and his demon princes, but the big puppets of this world can sure make life miserable for the average folk. Nice write Wendy
