The Puppet Show Poem by Rachel Brewer

Life is the puppet show.
We all go through it thinking that we can change our destiny.
That the choices we make have an effect on the way everything turns out.
We don’t though.
Our lives. All of our lives, have been predetermined and sculpted by the puppet master.
You know who I’m talking about. God.
He creates us, so we are effectively puppets in his show.
His show, that we call life.
Nothing we do will ever change the outcome of our lives.
Our minds have been manipulated into making the choices the will eventually lead to our so called destiny.
If you were meant to do something extraordinary, you were born with the knowledge to do it.
Most of us though, us regular people,
We’re just the extras.
The background extras the God needed to fill out his show,
And there’s nothing we can do about it.
