The Puppetry

Gestures manipulated,

Actions operated,

Twin or twirl when told,

Sing or swim when said.

Dance or drown on demand,

Shake the head,

Turn around,

Touch the ground.

In a rope way control,

Play on stage enrolled,

They made questions,

They have answers too.

Respond to the command,

Never react in own,

Go on anywhere,

Carry that rope too.

That may tear her,

And tears may fall,

But those are on backstage,

Front stage is for the audience.

She was made to perform,

What was in the program,

Her feelings were an unread message,

Her rights stayed within the rope.

All she can do is hope,

But always tied to a rope,

Her life was a puppet show...
