The Puppet Masters

You all know that everything
is not as it seems,
wondering who is working
behind the scenes,
so its time to put on our 
thinking caps and glasses,
to get an idea of who could be
the puppet masters,
could it be the two candidates
are just like a Pinnochio,
with someone who mentored
both of them behind the
curtain during the show,
someone or some people
who are "more in the know",
they give the two candidates
much of their advice,
and when one of them become
president,
better heed it or they could
lose their life,
these mentors are just like
a Gepetto pulling their strings,
much like a Jesuit Illuminati
in a bad dream.

All the candidates have "mentors" of one kind or another; some more intimidating than others!:)
