Fate

[dibyendra]

Oh fortune teller,
how the lines imprinted on palm
predict unpredictable future of our human life ?
Oh astrologer,
how sun, ‬moon, ‬planets, ‬stars and signs
mould fortune of the life that we're living ?
Is everything in this Universe interrelated ?

Are we really living preordained life ?
Are our every actions responsible
for the determination of our own fate
or are we coping with predestined fate ?
What confines the destiny of our human life ?
Can't we alter what's written on our fate ?
If that is not so, ‬we are nothing more
just the puppets
and being controlled by some supreme force.

Who is holding keys of our life and fate ?
Is that by God or us ?
Should the doors of life ahead open and close
only at the will and desire of God ?

Is it worthy to pay attention
to horoscope and my zodiac sign
to know how my day will be ?
Should I visit fortune teller
to hear what time will bring for me ?

What the future is holding for us ?
This question is what makes us
thrilled, ‬inspired, excited‬, ‬frustrated and
stirs different emotions.
Without these sentiments,
wouldn't this life be discolored and dry ?
Every pages ahead are filled with mystery
and come mysteriously.
making each day a different story.

I keep faith in blood, ‬sweat, ‬and tears,
but not just in fate.
I will patiently endure in hardship and be
optimistic to get splash of better days ahead.

Why some attain crown of jewels
and some crown of thorns ?
Why some get cordially invited
and some are just heartbreakingly thrown ?

Why some born with a silver spoon on their mouth
and some forever doomed in debt ?
Why some without much effort get sleek way
and why some strive all their life, gets nothing, just fade away ?

Oh Lord, I don't want to live this life anymore
if every moments of this life is predetermined
and has been pre-programmed.
Please God,
Won't you unshackle
all these factors from us and give us an ability
to weave our fate by our own hand ?

Oh soothsayer,
how the lines imprinted on palm
predict unpredictable things of human life ?
Oh astrologer,
how sun, moon, planets, stars and signs
influence behavior and fortune of human life?
Is everything interrelated ?
Is our human life prearranged
and human fate predestined ?
Can't we alter what's written on our fate ?
Is fate the factor which confines our life ?
If yes, we are nothing more
but just puppets,
controlled by someone else.

I don't pay attention on horoscope
and my zodiac sign
to know how my day will be.
I don't visit fortune teller
what time will bring for me.
What my future holds, I'm not aware of it.
Because, I'm living my life in uncertainties,
and the life that it should be, and just like the way it is.

I keep faith in blood, sweat, and tears, not in fate.
I stick with patience although it's late.
I don't want to live if this life is predetermined
and has been programmed.
Please God, unshackle all these factors
and give me a opportunity to weave my fate by my own hand.

This poem is deeply philosophically rooted. You seem to point out the notion that life is a prisoner of fate. Life, fate-powered or overpowered by destiny o r God is indeed repulsed here.

Here the poet is a seeker. He seeks for freedom. And he wants the freedom even Gods too can not disrupt. Unruffled. Life is valued her not any idelogy.
He has risen to a state that is above all religions, philosophies amd idelogies

Here the feel for individuality has climaxed. The poet wants to carve out his fate himself.

Human fate, bunch of questions

Oh soothsayer,
how the lines imprinted on palm
predict unpredictable future of our human life ?
Oh astrologer,
how sun, moon, planets, stars and signs
mould behavior and fortune of the life that we are living ?
Is everything in this Universe interrelated ?

Are we living preordained life and coping with predestined fate ?
What confines the destiny of our human life ?
Can't we alter what's written on our fate ?
If no, we are nothing more
just the puppets
and being controlled by someone else.

Who is holding keys of our life and fate ?
God ?
Should the doors of life ahead open and close
only at the will and desire of God ?
Are our every actions responsible
for the determination of our human fate ?

But, I don't pay attention on horoscope,
and my zodiac sign
to know how my day will be.
I don't visit fortune teller
to hear what time will bring for me.
What the future is holding for us ?
This question is what makes us
thrilled, inspired, delighted, frustrated and
makes us feel several other emotions.
Without these sentiments,
life really would be discolored and dry.
Every pages ahead are filled with mystery
and comes sequentially
making each day a different story.

I keep faith in blood, sweat, and tears,
but not just in fate.
I will patiently endure although in hardship
just to get splash of better days ahead.
I don't want to live this life anymore
if every moments of this life is predetermined
and has been pre-programmed.
Please God, won't you unshackle
all these factors from us and give us an ability
to weave our fate by our own hand ?

"splash of better days ahead" is especially vivid, but then the whole of this is an impassioned philosophical debate with yourself.

Thank you Prince for your comment . Yes, I have raised a bunch of questions on human faith with the knowledge I have and but later turned out to be a philosophical one.

Anyway, hoping to get more views about this poem. Should I call this one a poem ? ;) Actually, at first I just tried to write a view regarding the fate of human life but later turned out to this one finally.

Best,

It's true that we born with empty hand and go away from this world with empty hand.

The quest for these enigmatic questions goes on and on....

Should we believe in previous life ?
And are we coping with predestined fate
or
are we coping with the result
of what we have done in previous life ?
