Marionette man
In a Punch & Judy show
Jump, sway, nod, pirouette
Controlled by remote hands
Dancing to someone’s tune
Expressions of forced mirth
Making observers smile away their sorrow
I think this is the reality of a person’s life today. Although, he / she feels in control on his own, the strings are being run by someone else. Is it the Government ? As they feed us information. As they incentivise our reactions. As they manipulate our very thinking!

It could one of many ways, Atul, but you’re right – are we really in control of our own lives?
Thanks, pal!
