What are we?
Are we nothing but puppets?
Do we have souls?
What about hearts?
How can we be so ruthless?
How can we be so rude?
We're nothing but puppets.
Puppets with no strings.
No one telling us what to do or who to be.
We are the puppets who make their own decisions in life.
Decisions that could potentially harm us.
Decisions that could save us.
We are the puppets.

I like this poem but if we are not being controlled by anybody or anything then how are we puppets? I don't get it. But I like this part: "Do we have souls? What about hearts?"
