Unpredictable

Life many times play games with us, the things we wish never come in the time we wish, the good things always come when we less expect.

I learned that  long plans are not drawn,

What we can do is to let the events

Make our plans,

And the present realize them if it has to happen

The moments that are most important to our lives,

Are the ones that get us distracted

The truth is that we will never be prepared to prepare,

For what the world prepared for our lives.

this is so true. i can safely say that what i thought i would end up doing when im older, did not turn out the way i planned for it to happen. i dont regret anything and im glad things have happened the way it happened. we can never prepare for what lies ahead of us, and that is how we learn. good writing!

This is so true. A poem all must live by! The last lines are perfect," The truth is that we will never be prepared to prepare,/ For what the world prepared for our lives." I love how your poems a short and sweet but pack a punch with the message. Great work.

"What we can do is to let the events
Make our plans,"
The above lines are true wisdom. We can aim at goal and dreams. Sometimes we fall into the problems and direction of real life. Do what we must. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

preparing takes away spontaneity---life is better when it just happens..

An interesting idea. I think that you have a good concept here, but the wordplay almost gets a little confusing. I think what you are trying to say is that our lives are not dictated by what we try and "plan for", but by the laws of "chaos" where things just happen as they are going to happen, expected or unexpected...?

To clear things up, I would work on the first line:
"I learned that long plans are not drawn," maybe "I have learned that nothing is set in stone" or "I have learned that things do not always go as planned"

I don't know, just my thoughts. Otherwise, this is a profound idea and I enjoyed that part of it quite a lot.
