Arbitrary Misfortune
There are no easy answers as to why bad things occur.
There’s no rhyme or reason as to who might be affected.
Though there may be a philosophy to which you prefer,
Usually, when bad things happen, it’s unexpected.
Whether or not you believe that angels’ wings unfurled
Can make the reality of life around you exist,
There may be a higher power at work in the world.
Thoughts of a supreme being are not easily dismissed.
So, live your life as though there may be a god of some form
Who has a reason for everything that happens here.
And no matter what tragedy they decide to perform,
You will never live your life in complete and total fear.
