Predestination

Predestination,
Life’s very own labyrinth
That every man heeds to his beck and call
Lost in their distinctive islands

Tis life’s inevitable flaw,
That holds no boundary to destiny
A mystery that lies
Beneath the fates of humanity

What will be, will be
The old poem affirms
So I wander if I’m a doll
Wandering in life’s pawn

The manifold paths I’m unto
Submerging hastingly into
I ponder, if I chose this road
Or did it choose me?

Although this is a deep platitude
I humbly appeal that
If predestination is of reality
I pray that thou hast destined me
To enter thy heavenly abode
To rest eternally with thee.
