what we're looking for

we're small things,
hardly noticeable.
our traps are
           the traps
we set for
      ourselves.
watch any other
   creature
on this planet,
and you will know
it to be
            true.
we weave the web
and we wait for
       disaster.
we tend the fields
and reap what
       we sow.
but somehow
we believe that
it is all
out of our control.
we pretend to be puppets
when no one tugs the strings.
we blame the puppet master
every time we stumble.
there's a knock
                   on the door,
but no one is there
when we answer.
we are the bastions of light
for which we have always searched.
we are only as good as our actions.
we are our only hope.
