Fortune

ˈfôrCHən

my ultimate fate

my ultimate fate 
is to participate in 
my own genesis

karma operates 
with utmost efficiency 
during a crisis

life may be a stage 
but fate will decide whether 
tragic or comic

resume bullets
may read differently at the
threshold of heaven

i am not so rich
that fortune lacks the strength to
swallow my riches

yesterday is dead
and the choices i made are
my inheritance

i claim my reward
or else my reward claims me
inevitably

fortune speeds the bold
to mastery and favors
actions bravely done

i may win the game
but only if i dare roll
the dice in my hand

we claim our rewards
or else our rewards claim us
inevitably
