Pawn

Man's fate lies with the gods
Let no one forget the odds
Lest, he shake hands with death
And sleep without breath.

Ceaselessly, the weavers weave
The very fabric of his life
Through the gate
He'll walk with a little faith

On this path lies his real fate
A thin ice on whose cold brink he skates
He's just a pawn
For the gods move him like a clown

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
