'Strings That Bind'

By NanaBear

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Re animate the marionette,cut loose the strings that bindand would direct without consent,or freedom we can't find.The wisdom of uncertaintyleads through all fear to Light,and progress is the cherished goalfor those who win the fight.All knowledge gained but complimentsexperiences first-hand,becoming power, when appliedwith wisdom, in one's stand.To dance, when worked upon with force,on strings which others pull,negates the choices thereby madeand makes us play the fool.The strings that bind - ignorance and fear -make us sad marionetteswho dance and play upon the stage,and fill us with regrets.
