Humans or Puppets

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.

I think you've defined modern life here Death, I think it's great. Greed is a nortoriously powerful force that plagues the Human mind.

Puppets of someone refers to god....

And the page its starts with birth and ends with death.....

Between it is human nature i. e lust greed etc etc

[AcasualPawn]

Someone=god
Something =human nature

The second and fourth stanzas are my favorite. I think you meant to put the word 'the' in between "from sidelines".

[AcasualPawn]

Sorry my mistake

Watching from sidelines..... And its god
And he is also the one playing with page.....

Thankyou wolfe for supporting my non religious thoughts....

I don't care what people's beliefs are. If they are a good person at heart, and think sensible not rational, I don't care what they believe in. There are good and bad people all over the world, but in the end, you yourself have to make a judgment call. I personally am agnostic just because I really don't know if there is a god or gods watching over us.

[AcasualPawn]

Yes there are............

Definitely are gods......

Our human scientists has divided races into type0-6
Depending upon technology and utilization of energy as they are directly related... In 100 to 200 years human will reach type0 race.....

And god is type6 race hypothesis

I don't usually understand poems and because of that they come across as pretentious even if the writer meant something with it, but I think I get at least some parts of this poem and I like it. I lean more towards us being puppets of something rarther than someone, but one can never know for sure. Very good poem overall, I'll gladly read more of your work.
