Fortune thinks
We are kids
So She always plays with us
Dodging, blind and guessing games;
See-saw, hurdles, hide-n-seek;
Her swings of different, different nature,
Makes the life as a roller-coaster
All Her games are really strange
Never aught of our own choice;
That is why
She dodges us;
But She is right
'cause we are really foolish kids
Ignorant of her cunning tricks.
In this state
When we yield,
She conquers us and wins...
Fortune thinks We are kids So She always plays with us ///// (((really excellent............. fate thinks we are fools so He always wins)))))))))))
Reminds me of the Tweedlelum-Tweedledee of Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. One of them said, talking to Hamlet: We are not the very buttons on Fortune's cap. When, like a strumpet, Fortune dodges us and knocks us about, we muck about like bats for some anchorage in life. Sometimes, only sometimes, she lets us eat some crumbs from her table-the occasional episodes of happiness in the general drama of pain, as Hardy would have it-and then starts playing the blindman's buff with us again. Her wiles and guiles (her cunning tricks, as you say) ultimately get her on the victory stand, and our ends are shaped by her (or her alter ego, Divinity) , rough hew them how we will. A beautiful piece of art! ! Thumbs up Shazia! ! An aside: For one thing, feminine gender pronoun She used for Fortune makes her a good fare for a feminist reading.
fortune plays games with our minds. when we yield she conquers us and wins.
Great piece of poetry - we are all the designers of our own fortune. Very well written.
Fortune is the play, and we the actors and actresses, and we read to Her script. Well done!
