Predetermined Poems


Premium MemberDestiny

Man’s path of least resistance
is described as destiny.
The outcome predetermined,
as a river running to the sea.

Both roads, they misled,
cloaked in the form of fate,
as if one choice could somehow surpass the other.
The leaves appeared pristine, but isn’t that the trick?
Paths aren’t formed by feet,
but by the burden of all we bear.

So I chuckled and roamed through,
crushing the underbrush that had the nerve to remain neutral.
There, I saw nothing special in the middle,
only my own shadow outstretched—
proof enough that I was here.

Premium MemberCubist Composition

It’s all been decided for me
I was told to get up and go
To reap the harvests for free
Which I had no idea to sow
In a competition of fictions
The most plausible won
I bargained three new convictions
For the price of the cheapest one
I invested them in three essays
Which I was relieved to forget
I walked through the Roman arcades
I rested on faraway sand
I drank from the springs of wisdom 
And ate from the plates of good
Almost lost my immune system
Survived though wasn’t too shrewd
I bet this plot is predetermined
It’s all been decided, you see
I gave my word to return it
But still I keep it with me.

Serenity is to know what's right'
Eyes that peer in, beyond what's seen'
Nurturing our feelings with no regrets contrite.
Sensing the world, with consciously culled delight.
Exploring touch, smell, taste in ways foreseen.

Is It Predetermined Fate?
By Franklin Price
8/15/2015

Is it predetermined fate?
Does God watch over me?
Does what I do all have a date?
Is what will be, will be?

Is my way my choice to make
as roads branch left and right?
Do I choose which way to take;
which way my torch will light?

I believe my path my own choice
as I move along the way.
God contributes with his voice;
suggests what I should do or say

May choose to speak the words I'm told
take the way that heaven sent,
or choose by myself and be so bold
and maybe be hell bent

God gives us all the right to choose;
the way to go or speak,
to take the low or higher roads,
He offers us a peek 

Provides us all with history
of what others chose to do.
What happened to them we can see;
gives choice to me and you

We've arrived here through our choices; 
chose God's way or maybe not.
Listened to his, or other voices,
now what we see is what we've got.

If what you see makes your eyes glisten
With much happiness and love
I believe you mostly listened
To God's voice from up above.

Is Predetermined

We’re for God’s purpose
                                He knows everything's designs
                                       Is predetermined?

My plan is to make you fall in love with me 
Then I will leave 
You think I am kidding? 
Watch 
Have you ever been warned of something 
but didn't take seriously? 
Well maybe this is one of those times 
Lol 
What do you think I am doing the things I do? 
Don't be naive 
They are for a purpose 
Lol I can assure you
But let me go on 
And say that you don't know what hits you 
Only know that you are fallen and can't get up 
What does that commercial say? 
Anyway you may get up 
But will not recover
Haha and I will be laughing so hard 
Because it is all fun 
No big deal 
It's just a game 
And you will be the player 
Involuntarily 
I will be the one who determines 
When you have enough
Lol comprehend?
