WIND-UP TOY
by Bill Kochman

I bet you think that you’re oh so cool,
But could it be that you’re just a tool?
They wind you up and they set you down,
And you prance around just like a clown.
Your controllers tell you what to say,
You spew propaganda all the live long day.
You seem to think that you are so free,
Down you go if they say “Bend the knee!”
Free from your masters not really you are,
You’re just like a bug in a mason jar.
You see outside but you’re trapped within,
See, there they go winding you up again.
