Sometimes a puppet can be
Identified by the strings that
Reveal the puppet master.

You have seen nothing yet,
And are an amateur at best
But if you want to learn about manipulation
I can certainly show you some of what you
And certainly the others
Have taught me.

But that’s all nothing compared to things I know
And the dark places I’ve been
and maybe you’ll get a taste of it.

Its tempting and I feel the tug of demons
Who want me to break you for this
But its not the pawn’s fault a war has started,
Although there is personal responsibility,
But I’m gunning for the queen on the board
Who thinks she is a chess master but
Is just one more piece on the board.
