What do you do if you can see the strings?
What happens when you can trace them back to their origin:
A pair of double crossed wooden instruments in the hands of some magician?

What do you do then?

Should you muscle The Man out of the way?
Take over, so that you can put on your own kind of play:
enacting the way you've always believed it should be?

Or would you instead,
brandish a pair of scissors
in an attempt to set them all free?
Each choice carries risk.
Every action has a consequence.
Should you cut the strings from the puppets while chancing that you'll be left with a pile of immobile limbs,
or do you continue on with the grand show;
all while knowing exactly what will happen?
