Strings Pull Both Ways

 

Deep in the midst
of the latest edition of combat politics
I got the the sinking suspicion
that we were all being played..

Perhaps these invisible strings
tugging at our opinions
over nonsensical things
serve only as a distraction
from our real enemy..

Look up and see
exactly who is yanking us around...

Maybe it's high time
for we weary marionettes
to start tugging back
