The 4th Sonnet of my Balcony Marionette

These Shakespearean sonnets are observations of locally purchased marionettes hanging from my balcony rafters. I used a Pinocchio theme: what would the puppets want to be if granted their wish. I also used Mexico as inspiration such as colour, history etc. All in iambic pentameter, taking a few liberties with the turn/volta.

He’s a roja-suited fun faced devil
On his head he wears negro horns for death
Evoking the fight between good and evil
There is no devil and surely you jest
 
His suit is red for the blood of the dead
Id and ego, the same old ensemble
He only exists in my brainwashed head
El pueblo invento el diablo
 
Be Happy
Be Bashful
Be Devil may care
And you will be a real devilish boy
 
Pray for Mexico to one day have said
“Let revels begin, our devils are dead.”
