    Poem Commentary

    Inspired by John 8:28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know…that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught.

    Puppet Master

     

    Puttin’ your words
    Inside my mouth and
    Compellin’ me alwayz
    To spit them out-
    My lips move up
    And down but it’s
    Not even me, it’s you
    Makin’ me feel like
    I am truly alive-
    Without your direction,
    I won’t survive.

    I find I can’t
    Last two minutes if
    You are not in
    All I say and all
    I will ever do-

    It’s not by me
    But it’s alwayz you
    Takin’ my legz in
    Your direction az I
    Wait patiently for your
    Next production cuz
    We make a good team.

    There is nothing
    We can’t do cuz
    I know it’s not me-
    It’s all of You
    And how you work
    My body and soul
    Movin’ me closah
    Az you take control of
    Every inch of my bein-
    Seein’ myself grow to
    Be a woman thatz
    Ready for her destiny

    Cuz I clearly see
    That it was neva me
    But it was all You
    Behind the scenes.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
