once society showed me a picture
he smiled and pride poured from his mouth
thick and hot
he showed me the puppets he had created
every one painted the same
marionettes
with strings tied to their minds
i watched their empty bodies and gaunt lives
twisting under his heavy fingertips
his voice trickled into my head
his voice like diamond
sharp and glossy
"you should be like this too"

PoetryA collection of poems I have written in the last year or so. Work in progress. I add to it every week. Let me know if there is any poem you like (or don't like). I love feedback on my work.
