Chasing Destiny

Sometimes the decision we make

At the time they are conceived

Make perfect sense

Sadly, we can’t gaze into a crystal ball and see

That decision will haunt you for the rest of

Your life

In my head I've rehearse every probability of scenarios

Of how to say the things that need to be said

Pride is a curse locking out the one who should of

Been holding the key

Now the locks have rusted from tears

The key disappeared an eternity ago

Moreover, I am tired of chasing a dream

When I get close enough to taste humility

It quickly vanishes in the mist

Now I can see my fingertips reaching out to grasp

What was but now is

Slowly, slowly, slowly, I reach out to destiny

To ask for his forgiveness

He looked right through me as if I

Was invisible

I yelled to his retreating figure

He only looked over his shoulder

Sadness aura surrounding his soul

Walking away, away, away…

The World Goes Round & Round

Past a man sitting on a corner

He was assessing the damage

To one foot

As people passed by

Making their way to different

Destinations, some looked

At him others went on about

Their business

I wondered what was going

Through his mind

No one knew his situation

Judgment is saved for a higher power

He continued to caress his ailing foot

All the while keeping his head down

All I could think of

The world goes round and round

The richer become wealthier and the poor

Are just after thoughts…
