DESTINY
Destiny is that aspect of life's roll
Over which we have no control
It doesn't mean we have to fear
Destiny can also be beneficial and fair.
Even ancient civilizations believed
Events in our future are predetermined
As decided by God or a higher power
That can't be altered even by the hour.
Humans believed to have free will
That has its limitations to fulfill
Free will is not really absolute
Natural law plays it's part to uproot.
If you live a life just as it comes
You will face destiny as it is
You be conscious of each stimuli
To react and face the event boldly.
At times you may face disharmony
Unexpected it may seem wantonly
It's purely cause and effect reaction
In ignorance till now you have been.
Don't let time pass by itself
Strive hard to script it yourself
Instead of destiny surprising you
You will succeed in facing it anew.
