Controlling Destiny
Location
Watch an eagle spread wings like silk
Untouchable purity against a night sky
Until the hunter (some would call him Destiny!) takes aim
See the king of the air turned to game
See the last flash of brightness wink out and die
See me spread my wings
Soaring through life on a silver breeze
See the hunter (Who would call him Destiny?) take aim
See the predator turned to game
With a terrifying ease
See me wait for the words to unfurl
A puzzle put together in a thousand ways
As the Fates weave their string
I control what the next day will bring
No matter who the worshippers decide should be raised
I am immune to the Oracle’s prophecies
I defy the logic of the last accepted laws
I make peace with the war and friends with the cause
After all
society’s curse is not yet a disease
Extra, extra!
Have you read about the girl with the face?
The one with a future, a present
A commercially obscured past
Who doesn’t seem to know her place?
I take supper with Shakespeare
Walk through the woods with Frost
I dare to presume glory with the gods long lost
As I wait for my own Muse to appear
And appear he will (be rest assured)
Because the gifts of a puppet are for life
Though they may soothe like a hum
Or turn like a knife
Just be warned
Tomorrow; tomorrow I will be heard.
