Just Another Puppet On A String Poem by Dorsey Baker

Nobody can run as
Fast as you can
Give yourself credit
Because you are
Just another man

Shut your mouth!
Because it is
So full of greed
You are no longer
Beautiful flower
Now you are
Just another weed!

You have stolen
More than you could
Ever repay
And you have taken
As much
As anyone
Could have taken
Now you sleep so soundly
That you can
Never be awaken!
No longer
Can you feel!
Anything
Because you have become
Just another
Puppet on a string!
