A Play of Puppets

Where are we now
Drifting in a maze of time
Solidified, our worlds entwine
We are a grain of sand on a billion beaches
Trying to discover why we can't see the sea

We are puppets in a play
Insignificant pieces of wood that no one notices
Amusing ourselves day after day
Praising the past and ruining the future
Closed minds too scared to open for fear of what we'll find
We are a time bomb begging to explode to see what will happen

We are a single match in the biggest forest fire
Burning at both ends, chasing the same answers
To questions that have no end or beginning
Running around lost chasing other peoples tails
Not realising how frail we really are
Focused on the shoes of life, trying to change the way we walk
And not where the walk takes us
