Analysis of THE PUPPETEER
Evil Puppeteer
Transforming living beings,
Into life-like dolls.
Fatalists believe
That we're living puppets,
The Puppeteer agrees.
Making people puppets
Bringing dolls to life,
The Puppeteer at play.
Strung up like villains
Once living people dance
The Puppeteer in town.
Living dolls amok
Through a frightened village,
The Puppeteer laughs.
Dolls and puppets live
Humans reduced to puppets,
The Puppeteer's fun.
THE END
