The Fake Puppet Master

Post by mtmynd » December 6th, 2020, 10:17 am

The Fake Puppet Master Must be Hung on His Own Strings

The Puppet Master continues to pull the strings
watching the audience looking in disbelief
"How could this be happening to America..?"

The refrain continues at our dinner tables,
our workplace that used to be, the uncles
the aunts and all the neighbors, they know

The Puppet Master will produce yet another
lie out of his bag of chaos and disbelief
How did we get to this? we ask ourselves

Fearful of even that truth floating above like
dark clouds, those Masters of Aerial Flotation
stalking the lands below can reek havoc

At a clap of thunder, a strike of lightning,
is there any hope of a tomorrow to bring
back our sweet yesterdays, all but memories

We see our dreams rapidly disappearing
our needs going unfulfilled where do we go
what has the Puppet Master brought upon us?

BUT the Puppet Master cannot master himself
all a foolish lie that cheated so many,
his appearance a rude reminder of that clown

That painted face that hid the Truth he fears,
he'll stumble and we will see the true buffoon
and exhale our stress, our fears, our disbeliefs

The rainbow will cast its colorful arch across the skies
and once again we can rebuild a new life, better life
the one we imagined for Oh so many years...

So many years.... so many years... they come and they go
like life itself, it IS life itself that really pulls the strings
tuned to a beautiful harmony that brings alive dreams.

Standing alone, the Puppet Master is but an obese clown
bloated
indolent
ineffectual
self-indulgent
a sac of watery organic tissue
Jabba the Hutt
sporting a crotch-length red necktie...
Its true threat is its virulence
it is a virus
a worm
a Trojan horse
hijacking the limited brains of its acolytes
by speaking as it imagines they speak
so that they imagine it thinks as they (think they) think
and come to see it
as a kindred spirit
a Deity
come to validate all their Darkest impulses...
We hail Thee, O Puppet Master!
You have shown us the Way!
That what we've been told to believe is Vile
is in fact True and Proper,
just as we've known all along!
That Might is Right is White!
That ideals and tolerance and decency
are the familiars of Weakness!
We shall stand with Thee, Puppet Master!
And we shall take up arms against the Wicked
who would have us welcome the brown of skin
and the almond of eye
and the delicate of manner
into our tribe!
    Lock and load, comrades!
      Armageddon is at hand!

This Age of Internet hath brought us to the brink-- nearly half of an entire nation feeding The Troll.

Hell yes! the Puppet Master desires first the Nation then the World... he can't get enough, the pig that he is.

JC, unbelievable, what's going on. Banana Republic shit. Election? What election? Der Fuhrer will "intervene" ...

Another Mid-eastern "peace deal" brokered today (w/ Morocco). Have I been wrong all these years? The only road to "peace" is maximum hard, brutal line with Iran? I dunno wtf is up anymore.
