Moon in Virgo

Collective Atmosphere

Animating the puppets,

Pulling the strings

Calling the shots

Kissing the ring

Modern day slavery

Chained to the grind

Freedom is thinking

It starts in the mind

Follow the rules

Do what your told

You won’t be accepted,

If you don’t fit the mold

Taking our freedoms,

Telling us lies,

Can’t make enough money,

to even get by

Stuck in the loop

Societal cage

People all actor’s

The world is a stage

Shakesphere be famous,

Paraphrase quotes

Crafting this poem

Making some notes

Glitching the matrix

Rewiring time

Changing the codes

Line after line

Caught their attention

Now they impressed

What’s her next move?

They all be stressed

Another day gone,

The walls closing in

Now they are scared,

Gotta atone for their sins

The veil is removed

The curtain is drawn

The puppeter screams

All the puppets are gone

How can this be?

They’re not even alive

Then somebody took them

They’re out for a drive

Who’d want the puppets?

Why would they take them?

Imagery raw

But not mistaken

The puppets awoke

They took off their strings

That’s when they realized,

They are human beings

Rightously angry,

All of them rose

A leader in armor,

hidden in prose

Cracking the code

UNLOCKING Wisdom

Now you can see,

things once were hidden
