butterfly effect

like glistening webs our words carve into society, lashing rules and order based on lies. we don't call it manipulation. One touch or sentences affect the others driving the snowball of our lives to where ever we demand in that moment. Connecting us as we weave the deception into the future and present beings control the soon to be till our newest eggs follow the same path of power. we use because we've been used and our world is based on that to keep us in line. the truth is not freeing, but shameful as we start each generation on a set road by our actions of today leading them to fulfill the same order and no one knows or questions or cares. act as our lives has taught you to act and be treated by the bribe you bearly get to keep. A puppet for a puppeteer who bodiless form gives you the strings of the newest toy tangled with so many others you forget the strings that belong to only yours. we are all guilty of this effect.
