Through the Eyes of Just One Man

Book Cover & Preview Text
The Puppets Tear
The world is a concert
in which we all perform.
Few of us are tempests,
the rest wilt in the storm.
We dance a dance of sacrament,
a dance without a pause.
Although we are all human,
we cannot reveal our flaws.
Some of us are deemed worthy
and brought into the light.
Despite how hard us others try,
we’re kept locked in this fight.
We scream for recognition
but, our voices, they won’t hear.
The tempests pull the world’s strings
while, beneath, the puppets tear.
The world is a concert.
We all wish to be stars.
However, most of us struggle
behind constricting bars.
We give our lives much effort,
hoping one day to secede.
Though very much against our wills,
we live following lead.
We pine for even just a taste
of life outside the cell.
However, almost all of us
remain here in this hell.
