ukase

as Kurt once said
and so it goes
and so it goes
as Leonard said
everyone knows
everyone knows
and I wonder
how is this
what we chose

and we all watch
as puppet strings
get pulled
as truth gets muddled
as we get fooled
the dummy shouts
and issues an ukase
and those who
bow too quick
never notice
that the words
came from another face

as Kurt once said
and so it goes
and so it goes
as Leonard said
everyone knows
everyone knows
and I wonder
how is this
what we chose
