Puppet Show

Ugly humans and their world

Puppet Show

You are all born in noble families, I say noble because, either they are noble or you assume them to be. You are taught to hate the sin and the sinner as a child. But it all changes when you grow up when you find yourselves surrounded by utter darkness. The world doesn't appear as flat as you thought once, life not as straight.

Humans are not sinners, they are slaves.

You acknowledge this as you grow up. This world works like a puppet show; we and everything around us is controlled by invisible strings. Pretentious people with ugly masks dance around on the world's stage; strings pulled and eased by their desires. Whilst the spectators decide their fate. You loathe this sight in your early teenage, with promises to yourselves to never walk in their steps.

But before you realize, you're already stranded in the same quick mud.

And after quite a struggle you let yourself be devoured,

"If the world is full of gruesome sins it wouldn't make much difference if I indulge in some of it too"

That's what you feed your cravings. Little by little, one by one you gradually adopt sins and live by them.

"Just one sin won't make me one of those puppets; I'd still remain better than them".

That's how you all turn out to be who you are today. Once, you were all noble and naive. Now you're all a part of the puppet show you once despised; with the same pretentious masks and ugly dances.
