Puppet Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

The man started the show
With multicolored puppets,
Men women and children
Playing stories from mythologies,
So endearing and understandable
With the puppets walking,
Dancing, fighting, talking,
Every watcher enthralled
Talking of Buddha, Rama
Jesus and allah, so different
Life like, like us living
In the world where we are
Playing with anger, jealousy,
Humour, sadness, but we are
Puppets of the universe,
Which is the god almighty.
