FATE TAKES A HAND
Thursday, 14 July 2011
A FACT OF LIFE
FATE is a Course
We are Destined
to Take.
How we get there
is Sometimes
a Hard Choice.
Yet
Follow we must.
For The Times
push us ahead.
We can Stay
for the Moment.
Only to see it
Pass Away.
As with
the Day’s End.
We
must Pass Today.

THE WINE OF YOUTH
Drink not
From this Vial of Wine
For yet you not
Feel its Flames
and Taste
The Bitter Sweetness
of Your Youth
That Burns Within you
For Foolish Things we Do
To make the Time go by
Speeding Forward
To what we Know not
Inpatient we Have been
To Find
We are
Still in the Place we left
The Sweetness and the Sorrow
For Time
Can be no man’s Servant
It Waits
Not For us, but We for it
A Painful Lesson
To be Learned
When we are
Consumed by Youth
For our Failing is
We move Beyond
What is not Yet to be
We must only Drink of Youth
Not take a Shot to Boost
We must Face the Years
As they Come
For then
We can Learn for one….

REPARATION
The Sins
of Yesteryear
Cannot
be Balanced
By Today’s
Values
The Interest
Must be
Gained
By Giving
Everyone Value.
Oh! How,
A Fool
Would
Pay The Cost
I’ll Pay
a Dollar
For My Faults.

Life made
my First Choice .
I Follow through
The Second
was my Own .
For it
Took me all the Way .
Who was left
to Speak to.
When
I Had the Say?
I am Sorry,
I Cannot
Hear you now.
What did you say?
CONSCIENCE !
ARE THERE NO CRIES
DO YOU NOT KNOW WHY?
I CHOSE TO END IT
BEFORE IT WAS BORN
WHO DO I LISTEN TO
NOW !
THAT YOU ARE GONE?
Life has Spoken to me,
said I was Born.
