The Great Liar

Do we have the control on our life, or is it Fate anymore?

Life is an asteroid in wilderness
That has no definite path,

But Earth's gravity challenged it
A shooting star then it passed.

Or maybe a lonely felucca on aboard
On its voyage to the great unsure,

Yet when strong winds bombard
Takes it the to the hope shore.

Well it is also round wheel
That keeps turning round and around,

And we tend to forget and understand well
It can take us to where we bound.

Omens really surround us but unfair
A challenge for us to notice,

If we failed then comes the great liar
Letting our lives at Fate's caress.

Author's Note

"That at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie."
- The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)
