"Curse of the Puppeteer"
  by Showcase


........................Breath............................
.....................silence...............
.............and listen............

a dedication on your casket written in blood
holding your bone structure stuck in the form of prayer hands
a puppeteer

struggling, you ripped from my ribs
dry and quiet broken like trees
but the design is staggering
this bone structure fragile
unleashing the demons
the earth is still bleeding

a puppeteer
the bone structure is still dry and quiet
though a pint of blood is issued into the stream
cactus viens dry and crumbling
thorns and spikes
sprung from the background
altering our destination
unleasing genocide
the earth is still bleeding

a puppeteer
legs bind slightly back arched
head thrown back
the design is staggering
it's bone structure
numbered precisely
to the length of this body
pushed back arms shorten

It is beauitful
a creation from my creation
a ghost
breath......................
silence.......
and listen.......

you will never revisit this casket again
the bone structure is heavenly
prayer hands stuck like trees
no ' not the puppeteer the puppet
