Steven Getz Poet Rhyme

Fates and Whispers

If ‘Beethoven’s Fifth’ foretold fate 
Rapping on humanity’s door,
Then what were Napoleon’s armies for?

When we challenge fate 
By declaring war,
What dire results do we ignore?

Are all our beliefs 
And Holy Scriptures,
Based on misheard 'Chinese whispers'?
