Can'T See The Marionette Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Can'T See The Marionette



I'm just so sorry but we got too many mouths to feed.
A horse galloping towards the iron gate.
But it won't rise.
Not letting you in.
You are just another criminal.
Just another criminal.
Guilty by association.
With prejudicial restrictions.
Swallow your tongue.
Just die quietly or move on.
Playing for the fool.
A puppet on strings.
Marionette do the twist and turn.
To right, to the left.
Leading us flatly into walls.
A smack, a kiss, cruelty so easily dismissed.
But good minds do not forget once noticed.
A sign posted.
Seen everywhere by those who know where to look.
Not behind tinted glass.
Not by a long shot.
Just not so obvious.
And maybe it is better that way.
For when people in large groups are angered they will hurt anyone.
No self restraint.
With greater morals we are suppose to abide.
Not taunt or chide.
Not flaying someones hide.
Inflicting pain with the words of confession.
Escaping another obsession.
This one it is not about love but hate.
And how for the people I will neither show them the way or dictate.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Sometimes we are blind and choose not to see what we don't want to. A family member crueler then a dictator, does it decay the love, does it decay the vengeance? Who is it you think is pulling our strings? And would destroying everyone they love be enough. Hardly satisfied with a full course meal when your child is the one who is starved on the account of this one man. Sometimes there is line between what is right, and what is just too much. If we make such discoveries we must to learn to separate. That which is important, from that which is a waste. When emotionally bond it is a very hard thing to do.
