Just Yield Poem by Sam Pete
Just Yield
There are forty-two
Taking my test on Shakespeare
I see a hand go up
I walk over
“What’s it, ” I ask
Sir, “What’s Fate?
Should I
Write the whole story
Of Romeo and Juliet
Or should I just write on Fate? ”
“It’s that
Which we don’t
Have control over....
Write on the role of Fate, ” I explain.
“It’s all planned,
F o r e o r d a i n e d, ”
I tell myself.
How I used to think
In my younger days
That I can control Fate
Wrest it out, direct, execute
Better sense prevails, now
Just y i e l d.
Beautifully written but I beg to differ on your way of saying that there is a fate and we cannot control the path of our lives. For if we could not decide the way of our lives, than for what reason would we live them? I will now quote an ancient chinese proverb ' If we do not change direction now, we will end up were we're going' I think that's the way I see the future, we have all the tools to make with our lives as we wish, it is only a matter of choice. love Agnes

I believe that fate does play a role but I also feel that we given the choice to choose which paths we want to travel. Free will to choose. and sometimes just choosing to do nothing is still making a choice. Thank you for sharing Dwayne
