Strings

Reading this has no strings attached.. hopefully.

No strings attached?

I doubt that.

There's always some piece, whether it be a large rope or the thinnest yarn

Some consequences are minimal, others monumental 

Read the fine print-

Don't forget the Terms and Conditions there could be anything there

It could be selling your soul, or even worse a fee!

But what we're here to talk about people-

Everyone has got a few strings attached- quite a few have got people pulling at them

Dragging them here, moving them there- threatening scissors the whole time;

How much better would it be if we could be influence free-

Removing the strings from the puppet?

It would leave the world confused, to say the least-

to say it harshly, there are leaders, followers and people who do nothing of importance.

The latter is me, and I have no shame in it. I would be lost without my strings

Many would be stranded with me just the same- 

dazed to see the world who wants us to be ourselves on our own whim.

Then the born-to-be-leaders, would rejoice, glad to be back in the game.

The puppeteers would whine and complain-

their strings gone would make it impossible to play

With the poor souls who made their day
