Limited Automobile

You cannot change the past, as time is linear
Time is but a limited automobile.
It cannot move backwards.
It’s rear windows, a definite ebony.
It’s windshield wipers invisible to the eye.
You can drive
Awake, for the car does not drive itself or you
You drive it while it guides you
You are not your fate, but your fate is what you become  
Whatever you mean
Fate takes you where it takes you
Fate is in control of your life
But so are you
Put your hands on the wheel
Foot on the gas 
Drive, but don’t stop 
You cannot change the past, but you can live in the present 
Time is but a concept, fate is but a friend.
This friend has no end
For its end ended before a new you had begun 
This car is Right, always moving Right.
