The Play of Fate – I

a poem by Ramesh T A

The play of fate cannot be changed in the world of man!
Man proposes but only God disposes everything here!
Contrary to man’s desire fate does things unpalatable!

For some the play of fate is a blessing in disguise;
For others the play of fate is irony of fate inevitable!
Fate plays the game through Stars, Men and Time!

The play of fate thrives on man’s nature and nurture.
The play of fate makes Nature unpredictable always;
For, the play of fate causes changes in Nature ever!

Fate caused mistakes in evolution are called mutation;
Perhaps mutation has led to the evolution of man finally;
And so, is the evolution of man a mistake in Nature or not?

Without controlling himself how can man control others?
Without the Lord’s approval no proposal can be disposed!
The Lord mysteriously controls by fate everything unknown!

Yes, the play of fate causes changes in the world too!
History tells the truth of rise and fall of great empires!
Science caused civilisation has changed world culture.

Dictators tried to rule the whole world of man in vain;
Democracy has spread everywhere ruling mankind now
As democracy is the rule of, by and for the people ever!

Liberty, equality and fraternity govern the nations now;
But too many unions have spoiled liberty and morality
And destroying economy, they are disappearing in nations.
