Funeral for a Puppet


You say you mourn the puppet's death,
Yet these words infect his grave.
You two-faced Janus, upon his final breath!
No respect for the hell-bound slave.

Yes, a slave, I say, though you believe me not,
In his life no way your cruel conviction be appeased,
In his life, to frame him for the crime, you sought,
In his death known now as symptom, not disease.

Every demon upon this earth is made by mortal hands,
So that they may serve as our wrecked ship, a distant warning message.
Yet there lies the product of this same deceit, buried 'neath ashen sand,
Naught but a pawn in a higher game, made to play the savage.

Round and round, dancing under silent strings,
Unaware, like all mankind, of the affect of master's rule.
His time has come to soar on Valkyrie wings,
Now there he lies, coffin closed, the remnants of a tool.

Before you lies a cavern, scary enough your begin to quake,
A series of dark tunnels stretches out, decisions now to make,
You take the tunnel furthest right, filled with grim allure,
The ground is filled with rotten stuffs, squishy to toes that curl,
You continue, cautious, and yet...
OH NOES! A trap!
A reflex save, fortitude check? Constitution too?
What is this deadly poison in you?
Yes! Your level three bard base-bonus saved the day!
Succeeded Dex save, only half damage! What's this? Your face still turns gray?!
Behind you gather goblins, armed with prickly spears...
Initiative roll 20! U got nothing to fear!
Goblins going mad, your sword slashes past their puny AC,
As green blood sprays, dancing round, sword in hand, killing with glee!

Then your mom calls. Dungeons and Dragons is over for today.
You'll have to take up your slaying again next Saturday.
