Puppet Master’s Design

Liberty of mind —

Suffered to remain caged

Silenced by a jeering chorus

Of oppressive voices

Parroting persuasive fallacies

Drips of rich honey

Dangling from every word

Falling into gaping mouths

Hungry for the addictive flavor

Of comforting half-truths

While syrupy drizzles

Of juicy peach lies

Dilute skepticism’s rancid bile

In a dizzying rush

Of saccharine deceit

Veins and sense flood

In the intoxicating high

Of forgotten autonomy

As limbs flail and sway

To the blind dance

Of the puppet-master’s design

    1. Thank you Pepa. If only more people would open their eyes and not allow themselves to be willingly led into temporary pleasures and satisfactions, I believe we’d be closer to being better persons.
