Fate Spares No One

Fate spares no one when it comes to inflict pain; never being compassionate, much less compliant... Frequent supplications of pity, don't appease this beast seeking victims to devour; and the stricken` are taken captive without tears to shed, having nothing to hope for... but they are all confined to agony, cut off from anyone and anything! Fate spares no one a single hair... wealth or poverty, ugliness or beauty are put on a balanced scale, to impart all their own share; equality is frivolous and unfair! Plagues are infected by ignorance, or by a shocking lack of regard... thus making all an endangered species; medicine doesn't always find the cure, patients retort and give in to vengeance... that's when fate flings its sword: to remind them that it is as invincible as ever! Fate spares no one...not even I; what life acclaims, fate disdains! For endless ages it ruled over many: deceiving hearts, destroying lives; very seldom it was powerless to take control over the strong ones, who refused to see the face of a Goliath... spreading terror through the earth!
