Puppet

The simple silhouette hides the sunken eyes of this bruised and broken puppet
The strings hold strong but its neck is broken

The sight of its damaged state shows evidence of a monster awoken

 

Hanging, dangling from rustic rafters

Puppet after puppet broken, shattered

When will the master stop

Never will the master stop

The ax to the wooden faces

Pleasure in its sound is what the puppet master has found

 

To the unobservant eye

The poppet is just a puppet hanging on loose strings

The master is just a master pulling those strings tight

Everything seams right in this disguising light
