Free Will Poem by Srivinay Salian

It’s happened before
It’ will happen again
Why then your heart fears
Why shed tears of pain

Ages lost in misery
Denying the truth
Why bother to rebel?
Waste your blest youth?

Why build the castle in air,
Dream of a distant shore
When descend is in order
Why even aspire to soar

Life shall not heed, no man
Nor be taken, or shun’d away
Fight all you want, as much can
It’s bound to end anyway

It follows its own course
The path you call Destiny
Why yearn to resist it
Why deny the eventuality

You may choose to believe
Live in the web of lies
Free will, but, is an illusion
Mere a cloak around your eyes
