I can has poetry?
The Puppet's Play
I am but a puppet in the Master's plans,
Shedding tears from blood-soaked hands.
Bound by chains, not by strings,
Watch me perform unspeakable things.
Screaming smiles to hide my pain,
Slowly driving myself insane.
The show begins with sound of applause,
The crowd oblivious to the underlying cause.
But soon it becomes much too late,
As the onlookers succomb to fate.
Gazing gleefully at my clever snare,
Hypnotized by the dancing snakes in my hair.
Petrified, paralyzed, motions cease,
Soon they'll all be resting in peace.
So watch, watch, as the puppets play,
Not realizing you've become our prey.
Falling deeper into our ploy,
Your life shall soon be destroyed.
At the end of our act no cheering is heard,
You find it ends with but a single word.
And things slowly fade away,
As you watch the puppets,
The Puppet's Play.
