STRINGS TO PULL, by                    
First Line: You look down upon us now
Last Line: "and said in scorn, ""but who are they?"
Subject(s): Injustice


You look down upon us now
As puppets on your stage;
You rule us as you list,
We are animals in your cage.

Yet one day we shall prove
A worth, a noble right
To rise and soar, majestic as
The eagle in his flight.

Then you shall stand in awe,
You whose dominance held sway,
Nor cared to know the truth denied
And said in scorn, "But who are they?"
