The Puppet Show

Is everyone enjoying

The puppet show

Because that is what

You are watching

Yet, it seems so real

Audience members

Yelling at the 4th wall

Or transfixed immobile

By the sheer amount of

Digital distraction

Displayed in deceit

To keep one behaving

In reaction mode

Instead of spirit

That knows it is just

A puppet show

Individual sparks

Of the divine

Caught up in the

Deadly entertainment

Pulling emotional

Strings of doubt and fear




“I’ll show you politics in America.

Here it is, right here.

“I think the puppet on the right
Shares my beliefs.”

“I think the puppet on the left
Is more to my liking.”

“Hey, wait a minute,
There’s one guy…………

Holding out both puppets!”

“Shut up! Go back to bed, America.
Your government is in control.”

– Bill Hicks



From a vague recollection of a meme…


American to a Russian:

What are you doing here in the United States?

Russian: We’ve come to study your propaganda.

American: Why, we don’t have propaganda here.

Russian: Exactly……..


“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
