A puppet

Favour 2006 (Lagos)



A puppet has no will
Never refuses when told to stay still
Every command of the master he has to fulfill
 
A puppet has no mind of his own
He has no choice for he was the master's own
His feelings were never meant to be known

A puppet has no right
He never makes a fuss when told to fight
His duty was to serve with all of his might
