Spider of Fate

I find among the simplest 
of men,
Geniuses
I find among the 
strongest of men,
Weaklings
Bent on the edge
Ready to collapse
We fear within our hearts
That our fears will come 
and haunt us 
We know within our 
souls,
What we need to be,
What we ought to do
But some how,
The spider of fate
Weaves its web 
and enslaves us all

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.
