Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

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

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..)
