Dark Figure VI

I am the Dark Figure
that lays in the clouds.
A place you cannot see
pulling the strings
on many a puppet.
 
I was the one
that sat Pol Pat
in his leaderships claim
in the late seventies, Cambodia.
Filling his head on how to lead
causing millions to die
of famine and disease.
All the blame thrown
at this failure of the leader,
not one seeing the strings
guiding his corrupt mind.
 
I visited Nanjing
for six bloody weeks,
marching with Japanese troops,
guiding their bloodletting
on the Chinese.
Murder and rape
of hundreds of thousands.
Pushing the mind
to such destructive pathways
was not difficult
once the strings are pulled.
 
As soon as he came into power
I knew Adolf Hitler’s mind
would be easy to manipulate.
To think he was the only superior,
laying waste to those
Hitler thought were inferior.
Creating the murder of millions,
bloodshed through the European nations.
Creating and intentional war.
 
Pushing thoughts into weak minds,
so easy for the taking.
To do the invisible Dark Figure’s
chaotic, murderous bidding.
