The Puppet Show

Come watch the puppets dance Like there's ants in their pants They go where the wind blows In the show of all shows Each one dances and sings Cuz they can't see the strings Onward mile after mile While the puppeteers smile

I really appreciate the imagery in the poem. It gives a haunting, look-over-your-shoulder feel, which I think is especially important in a world where we witness constant fighting for power and control, and trust is difficult to find.

Thanks Stasya, it's sad so many people have been lied to so much, they can't recognize the truth when they hear it. Governments throughout time has employed the tactic of deception and division to control the masses. I'd love to see the people of the world unite and throw off the Puppet Masters and their minions. I doubt we see it in our lifetimes, but I dream of that future.
