Well this is interesting... Very interesting! I could
easily line up any number of political leaders and
this would well apply. OH... That's not a good thing
is it? too many of them around for comfort.

Use the machine gun.

hummmm interesting, you seem to have made a puppet an abstraction. Nice twist to the form. I think it does represent an abstration here. Good Luck!

Thanks;
I tried to make it as topical and ambiguous as possible which seems rather contradictory, but I hope I've pulled it off. Ragnorok is an old Scandinavian term that means something like your Armageddon or Apocalypse. The puppet could be any politician at any time.
