The Politician

Puppet

Figure on strings

Moved by a wealthy hand 

Willingly manipulated
                         
Dummy

Thanks, Jan! I had to tweak it a little for the final words to fall into place. I sometimes post the poem, and then edit it while it's out there. Glad this was the final result I was after :)
