MARIONETTE

A marionette suspended in endless space and time,

Consciousness is nothing but a dream,

Trapped in this cold cumbersome sinful body,

A spirit in a trance, in a deep slumber,

One final breath in your death bed is all it takes,

To see beyond all those conscious struggles,

What is sweeter than comfort but pain,

What is more meaningful than life but death,

What do you constantly seek in your life?

Is it love? Is it comfort? Is it power?

Your ego is fed while your soul is forgotten,

Your life is nothing but an empty struggle,

A soul in eternal solitude without love
A marionette suspended in perpetual darkness,
Emptiness comsumes a soul filled with fear and pride

A godless soul is a lifeless marionette in the dark.
