Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 We Sway

We the People like puppets sway

On strings held by powers that be

To contest issues of the day,

So we will believe mindlessly.

Oh, the powers make it all sound

That We have best of circumstance

So long as We just sway around,

Believing same old song and dance.

And more and more We have less choice,

But dance to songs powerful sings,

We People puppets losing voice,

Swaying back and forth on the strings.

The powers that be puppeteers

Hope We just sway to lies and fears.
