Human vs. Destiny

In the great diversity of destiny

You may wonder 

Why I have to trudge through

A rough and tortuous road

When others saunter on 

Gold-paved boulevards 


You want to argue with destiny          

But you get no satisfactory reply

Only the curse of chaos

Leaving you in despair         


When searching for guidance 

From the divine was fruitless

It made you think 

Submission may be is the only way


But you are unwilling to submit          

And a surge of courage arises

You valiantly fight back with destiny   


Sometimes you defeat ill-fate  

And celebrate a glorious victory   

For you realize the strength of will 

In mortal man
