FATALISM

What will be will be the fatalist believes,
So to them no untimely death comes their way.
A drunk drives killing a family, was meant to be!
Young men killed in battle, lives cut short. No!
That is what must happen, their time had come,
There was no more living for them to be done.
Can men believe this? So murderers are meant to kill?
Take some innocent life, an arsonist blaze a building
And many die a cruel death, is this their plan in life?
I am no fatalist, my God would give men agency
Fatalism takes it away, with the words it had to be.
