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!
