A Puppet's Cry Poem by Jon Lloyd

A Puppet's Cry

Rating: 4.7


Picked up once more, like marionette,
And then flung down again.
How can anyone forget
That puppets too feel pain?

Someone should tell this senseless thing
What thoughtless acts have done.
That one can senseless suffering bring
All in harmless fun.
