Of Fatalism

Oh God, the fatal “ism” of the “isms” The heart and soul of life And all its schisms. Collisions at great speed That caused it all Or wait!! Perhaps…If Eve…. had let the apple fall? Pray tell, it makes no difference How we pray For in the world of fate We all just bray. And if by chance we dare To turn away The “ism” of our fate Will still hold sway. So flee the dreary world of “ism-ism”. Or face the fate of fate’s Now fatal “ism”. ©8/6/2022 Of Fatalism Sponsor Edward Ibeh

Something tells me that even if Eve and Adam (he was at fault too) did not eat the forbidden fruit, they would still have disobeyed God. Why do we always refer to the apple? Most probably it was a sweet olive.
