  A Shot in the Dark / Shell Game
  By Richard Powell
  

  A SHOT IN THE DARK

  Fate is no stranger ,
  I am its course

  The differences between

  Destiny and fate
  is a matter of choice

  If I turn the bend

  Will it lead me
  to the end?

  If I take the curve
  too fast

  Will I turn
  at the end?

  If I am at
  the crossroad

  What track
  am I on?

  No
  choo choo train here

  Nor whistles
  blowing

  To tell me
  what’s ahead

  Only light and dark
  that I must tread

  No stop sign to watch

  Except
  what I have done

  No signal to alert

  If conscience
  is not on track

  No light ahead
  if I am in the dark

  No conductor
  if I am its charge.

  A Poeatreeman

  There are two Roads, one Course
  There are two Ends, one Right
  There are two Choices, one Left
  There are two Fates, one Heaven
  There are two Doors, one Open
  There is one Time, when I was Born
  One God, to Open the Door
  One to Close it all Behind.

  Dedicated to Nikole
