"A power thought to control all events"
says the "Oxford"
If you have changed
The course of your life
And revel in your supremacy
You have not overcome destiny
It is what was meant to happen
No indication of your power
But that of a force beyond
Destiny spins the wheel
In which we are all bound
Ashoka the emperor turned an ascetic
Clinton's image marred, life disturbed
Sadam the ruler-tyrant, found
Cowering in a dirt hole
A second is all it takes
To have one's standing switched
Celebrated, affluent one moment
Disgraced, homeless the next
Events throwing life into a tumult
An unseen juggler
Tossing lives in the air
Changing positions
With a sleight of hand
Destiny
a force to be reckoned with
Destiny
you have left no life untouched
