Opera of the Puppets
[reengineered puppeteering]among the six billion
we are the cantastorie
we are not the corporate heads or bankers
doing the Russian Mafia’s laundry
washing the filthy gains of the Karzai brothers
cleaning for the cartels
we sing of the dancing marionettes
forced to fund the weaponized might-
actors of enforcement
for the global manipulators
we are not their cannon fodder
employed for the purpose of control
though we tell of missiles and bombs
which degrade regimes
we hear the echoed whispers
don’t execute the contract too soon
control the poppy
control the country
control the oil
control the region
check the Chinese
[trillions funded allows for billions vanishedfinancing special acts for the power obsessed
in their game of neuropasta]
within the hum
we sing
