Mark Koplin Poet Sonnet

Free Will

I think destiny is a delusion
I believe that God gave us each free will
We are in charge, there is no confusion
Our fate is not set but it is uphill

The harder we work the more we will gain
We’re created equal, but not the same
Success and failure will bring joy and pain
Delusions of grandeur won’t win this game

That’s my opinion, be it right or wrong
Believe what you will, your muscle thine brawn
Life could be a dream or maybe a song
The end still comes, no matter how it’s drawn

Be true to yourself and all that you do
Free will or Destiny, it’s up to you

Jenna Logan September 18, 2020 at 6:18 AM God has given us free will, and what we choose to do with it will be our fate. I wish you the best of luck in this contest. I'm 0 for 3 with the sponsor...my fate seems sealed with her, so I won't be entering. Mark Koplin September 18, 2020 at 8:15 AM Thank you for your comment my friend, Never give up and keep entering.
