Liberation efforts are already underway to reclaim this critical ground.
Now, turning to the Jet Brigade. Yes, they were routed, but the battle isn't over.

And now, as promised, here's Am I the Puppeteer, a stirring poem turned into lyrics.
Listen to this and more on SoundCloud. Links in the show notes. Am I the Puppeteer.
The shadows they cast, memories of fire burning from the past.
The girl asked, hey must thug, let the reed all frow.
With the dance of life, let your spill it flow.
When passion guided, once bright and beautiful.
Now dim, you know, flickering dreams.
Shadows they cast, memories of fire burning from the past.
To spool them to care, searching for the light.
Coldness inside, holding on tight.
But don't worry, work's knocking at your door.
In this world, comfort's earned, that's for sure.
You're the master of your fate, never let go.
In the dance of life, be the star of the show.
Lift your body from the pillow's embrace.
Get ready for work, put on a brave face.
Even without passion, duties remain.
You're the puppeteer, life's dreams you maintain.
Threads of gold and silver woven in your hands.
Crafting your destiny, making new plans.
Let life flow in its purposeless race.
Remember, you hold the power, set the pace.
With or without passion, navigate the sphere.
You're the puppeteer, strong, no fear.
Every string you pull, every move you make.
In this grand performance, there's no mistake.
Once vibrant and beautiful, now faded and dimmed.
Life speeds on, faster than ever before.
Desperate to care, searching for the light.
Coldness inside, holding you tight.
But don't worry, work's knocking at your door.
In this world, comfort's earned, that's for sure.
You're the master of your fate, never let go.
The dance of life, be the star of the show.
With or without passion, navigate the sphere.
You're the puppeteer, strong, no fear.
In the grand symphony of life, take your stand.
Guide the strings with a steady hand.
You're the puppeteer, the one who commands.
In this dance, life's in your hands.
Now it flows in as they go through, leaving you yearning,
unsure of what to pursue.
Or even without passion, responsibility for man.
As you, your own puppeteer, life strings you maintain.
With hands on the strings, guide the flow.
The puppeteer stands, commanding the show.
Let the violins cry, let the drums proclaim.
Your symphony rises, you've won the game.
Now the curtains draw, the lights grow dim.
The echoes linger, a celestial hymn.
With passion or not, the dance must go.
In the grand design, you're the maestro.
With or without passion, you navigate this sphere.
The puppeteer of your life, with strength and no fear.
