We Marionettes

Part of the 8/27 3 pack

From heart to head
to soul, the marionette
travels by trap doors.

Strings cut and retied
each second we love
and every moment we war.

He has you wrapped around
his finger as the
goldest wedding band.

Who controls who
master of mind or
master of pleasure?

We stand united falling
from the stage of truth and light...

...into a safety net
of lust and
despair.

Monsieur Baal-zebub
the puppeteer
forms the question:

When is it we cut
the strings and reattach
them above all else?

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
