Amor Fati

Post by saw » January 4th, 2011, 2:50 pm

time
is circular,
invisible hands spin
the perpetual wheel of fortune
my future cannot be learned
from a side show guesser
in a carnival of freaks, my fate is not
a mystery, a gamble
my fate is my character,
my foundation, so I say to you
my fate is simply....
me
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Tell me not what
You perceive me to be
Or what you assume
I want to hear
For you do not know me
My sorrow or my glee
Fortuneteller
Stay away from me

Nietzsche said one should love one's fate, Amor fati. Good poem; enjoyed.

yes, of course, subject to
various twists of the universe
(and hopefully not openly traded by
large defense corporations on the stock market..)
