Free Wills Destiny

His Karma ran over his Dogma
His dish ran away with the spoon
He wonders if Destiny's planning
To do away with him soon

He found out the hard way that Free Will
Comes with carrying charges and tax
That between the tenets and credos
There is little room for the facts

She was sure that the Gods had her number
That no matter which road she took
There stood this fellow named Murphy
Writing her name in some book

It seems she was never empowered
To challenge the powers that rule
She simply grew as she flowered
And challenged them all to a duel
