Chances of Fate

Chances Of Fate       6/3/05

Captured thoughts once free from hate’s dominion, intrusive acts have disappeared from minds view revealing pains paid invitation.
Disregarding truths known albeit spoken to few, chosen men of substance recite myths intertwined with deceptions smile.  
Relinquishing control of emotions frayed by sinister deeds draped with malice, frozen.
Souls lost to dreams once considered bright with promise decay beneath lies told often beneath the rubble.
Forsaken by those of fortune yet status lofty many are discarded without prejudice, lives lost in the balance.
Summoning courage from within formidable now, dispelling the darkness rising up to address life’s calling.
