The Puppet Show

The Puppet Show


A reflection of our past should tell us something about our future
 A blade of grass torn & drifting in the wind
 The stage is set for the stars to appear
 Draw near and hear perhaps shed a tear

 The members are all assembled the conductor is present
 A variation of a dream sequence in the figment of our mind
 The strings are pulled to alert the players to move
 Just got into the groove with a change of mood

 Suddenly they sing with such melodic of tunes
 A brevity of sounding chimes to make sure everyone is in line
 You see God is the conductor pulling his world on a string
 The theatre is set for service to our heavenly king

 Shadows are torn in formation to its timely ring
 Some are lazy & some are willing to bring there all in all
 Today we have two responders with Hillary & Trump
 One wants to build a wall the other is a no it all

 The puppet show may come to a theatre near you
 Borrowed chairs and a papal pew
 Perhaps we as a society have bitten off far more then we could ever chew
 Let's cooperate with the conductor as he chisels his wand upon your soul

Very interesting! Love the analogy you used that God is pulling the strings to the puppet show!
