Is There Destiny? by susrite(m): 9:56pm On Oct 01, 2021
I got confused by the term 'DESTINY'. Does this really exist. I took a long walk into thought and try jotting few raw words down.
This might not be the kind of poem you'd love to read, it might not even reach the standards of poetic appreciation. But I just wish to write out my though in a verse-ly manner


Destiny?

I don't believe in destiny
The chapters of missing choices
The written acts of an enemy
The existence without sources

I don't believe in destiny
The young corpse walking unseen
Did he write so odd, did he?
Did losers write to not win?

I don't believe in destiny
Born to a country of wailing flags
Life of naught, pain and penury
A changed new lace for old rags

I don't believe in destiny
Who would pick hell while coming
The gods of the barren getting busy
A breakthrough up, not us falling

I don't believe in destiny
The destroyed farm by angry locusts
'Loss' we wrote after harvesting
We even lost it, our dear bullocks

I don't believe in destiny
The driven path of cruelty
The devils choice before fallen
What is dishonesty? What is honesty?

I dont believe in destiny
I don't believe in what you believe
I'll work it up loudly
And change the course, you'll see

I don't believe in destiny
Take your hands and hold it
The pen of life, your living
Own it, keep it, sum it

I don't believe in destiny
A chance paved for who'll take it
The unknown past ruling the present
You'll die a day, not as you wrote it.

What if..?! He may ask
What if my destiny is not to believe in destiny?
What if destiny doesn't want me to believe in destiny...
So that i may have a drive to prove destiny wrong
Thereby fulfilling destiny by proving it wrong?
Thereby destiny fulfilling what it wrote down for me?

Well, he may refuse to believe in me thereby doing my will.

You will not believe in me so that you will do my bidding.


What destiny sees sitting...

Am not a poet oh, am just playing with words. Sorry for derailing

I'll say it gain. Poets are lucky beings. I mean, how would you write a convincing poem that actually looks like the words are so cut out from each other, like they don't even makes sense but at last, it's making it make more sense.

Damn. This is so convincing. I actually believe in destiny but this write up is making me think again.

Trust me you didn't write wrong. You are almost saying the author's destiny is to write against destiny which is even telling him that he is fulfilling his destiny, and that is against his write up. Wait! You guys are giving me endless contrasting loop of thought. Wow!

Lol... I read what i wrote again and your comment, it put a smile to my sleepy face.

We plan and something else happens.
we aim away from failure so we succeed but life just smile as we aim for failure at the end.
believe me, we are under an upperhand.

Well, about destiny. Quotes like..,
It is what it is.
No one knows tomorrow.
Life goes on.

And one i don't seem to understand yet; "whether you think you can or you can't, You're right"

So, keep living daily.
Our personal destiny is to have all great good things (wishes), We tend to mix wishes and destiny

Keep aiming away from failure(wishes).

Keep wishing while we live destiny.

when we die, guess we've lived destiny

Hmm..
