Humans or Puppets

Humans or Puppets

A Poem by AcasualPawn
"

Psychology of humanity...

"
Who are we?
Puppets of someone,
Or Puppets of something.

Perhaps Puppets of something
Dreams’ desires
Lust’ greed
Virtuality of happiness
Reality of pain
Stupidity of emotions,
Providing the driving force
To run the hollow, shallow system.

Maybe our assumption is wrong.

Perhaps its Puppets of someone,
With interesting, amusing expressions
Stalking you
Judging you
Watching from sidelines.
Giving you choices
Giving you hope
With satire in the eyes.

Playing with a page
First line starts with birth of Puppet
Last line ending with death of Puppet
And leaving whole page blank
With satire of fireworks.

Maybe both of our assumptions are wrong
Or we can fill the middle blank page
With puppet of something
Completing the whole page
Completing the fate of puppet.

Interesting thoughts here. The poem seems to accept the notion that we are manipulated by something external. That may be true, if we allow it. Actually, though, we are jerked around by our own internal weaknesses, which make us vulnerable to the externals in the first place.

An interesting read to make you stop and ponder. It's like our lives are the sitcoms or puppet shows we watch--all preordained for someone or something's amusement.

Or maybe we can be puppets of clarity. Doing the right thing seems to take second seat to fear. Fear of someone or fear of something? Maybe we can puppets of compassion, helping each other find clarity. Or maybe that takes a second seat to greed. Or maybe my assumptions are wrong.

Nice provocative tittle. Poem it self describe very deep all bad human aspects. If we are puppets. Maybe we can cut off wires who is behind those who is wires.

We, all are puppets of our minds which become blind sometimes...never satisfied and craves for more.....

Hard to say. I liked the old country wisdom. You must do three things in a life. Be born, pay taxes and die. I believe we decide to be puppets and allow the human spirit to be forgotten. Better to walk the lonely road than with the masses to the slaughter house. Thank you for your interesting and powerful use of words and thoughts.

Thankyou Athena for your kind words..
How do you do this. Your every piece have some deep feelings and the way you express its amazing. Puppet of someone or something you mean God and human nature. But I want to feel it in a way - well here we are puppet of our emotion who rule our thoughts and thus compel us to work according to it and puppet for Greed. Because all we have is motive behind our every work. Anyways your perspective is really on advance level of my perception. Lol
