Fate

I am the ever shifting sand
The unreadable truth
Ever constant, ever changing
I know all that is past and all that is yet to come

You are not the same as all the rest
Travel your own path
Trace that singular destiny

Your fate is as yet undecided
One day you may prove yourself

Should the gods be willing

Mmm.. you say you are the ever shifting sand..right.. an unreadable truth...right.. you know the past and the present..right.. but i am not the same but must follow my own destiny..Mmm.. my fate is undecided but i must prove myself.. Unless i have got this wrong you must be God.. should i then be Jesus? And if so should not the last line state... "Should God be willing." Just wondered.. enjoyed. Cheers.
