Puppeteers of realism...
puppeteers of realism,
Us puppeteers won’t cry real tears,
they may run down our strings.
Never be concerned about the dolls,
reap or rape what tomorrow brings.
Controlled events leave us carefree,
this we’re taught as we grow,
In summer we’ll have private beaches,
through winter we’ll ski slopes of snow.
Higher we are and here to rule,
it’s what father has done before.
Forget how life treats those fools,
they’ll keep coming back for more.
The people of that silly cowed lot,
only deserve what we’re to allow.
Given half an inkling of real life,
they’d discard they’re scraping bow.
We mustn’t teach them all we know,
just enough to tend the palace.
We live with champagne and caviar,
while they create, the mixed race.
To bring that lot from differing countries,
a stroke of genius don’t you think.
They argue and fight with them now,
leaving us clearly, always, in the pink.
Ah, we have such a heavy burden,
evolving, so to keep them under heel.
Able to go about our delightful lives,
giving them, the poor man’s heaven deal.

I wrote this,
I wrote this with a mocking veiw, of the people who think their above us. Who think their put on this earth to rule, but also with some intent. The intetion being to stir enough good people to change our world. Egotistic i know but, when i'm writing i can but dream. I have changed the first line after taking your advise, but i feel the other must stay. Many thanks for your comments and advise. Regards Roscoe...

Hi Roscoe
Rhyming is perfect. Excellent poem, the message come across loud and clear - and how true it is. Things never change it's always been the same.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this poem
Well done
Love Mand xxxxxx

May I suggest you write
May I suggest you write another poem... not rhyming where you contain yourself in the words. as good as this is, it's not loud enough, let the anguish you feel speak for you. Your commentary needs to be included in your poem.
Say those things with a terrible shout!
