Puppet Master


 

I am the one
Who is in total control. 
You are the subject to me: 
Mind,body and soul. 
You have no say,
 You must do what I command. 
I control how many steps you take 
With just a flick of my hand.
 I am the one, 
Who makes every choice. 
What you do, where you go; 
My actions are your voice.
 From behind the shadows
 I let my scheme sing,
 Into the heart of my servant 
Just by pulling some strings. 
You know not of the influence 
Bestowed onto thee.
 You are just a puppet, 
With a master unseen.
