Puppet strings, they dance above
Suffocating, like a strangled dove.
Brooding, planning, machinating,
Controlling, studying, and calculating.
Actions, nay of our own accord,
Movement by invisible cable and cord.
A show, a performance, a spectacular scene,
Abnormal, odd, just like a dream.
Props and masks, a light, a glow,
For life is just one sinister show.
