100% Fatal Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg
100% Fatal
I suffer from a malady.
which is slowly killing me.
There’s no known cause nor any cure.
Its something which I must endure.
A disease universally
accepted reluctantly
As affecting every race
A truth that everyone must face.
We’re born to live a while than die.
Its only when the end draws nigh.
That we review the life we’ve led,
what we could have done instead.
If we had known what we now know.
When we were young so long ago.
Would we have done things differently?
We cannot say with certainty.
Our lives are ruled by circumstance.
We roll the dice and take our chance.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
complaining is of little use.
We can’t opt out refuse to play
the game continues anyway.
Why are we born only to die.
There has to be a reason why.
A part of some great master plan
too complex for the mind of man
to grasp in it’s entirety.
Embracing all impartially.

Very well expressed. Maybe, it's to our benefit that we can't go back and relive our past or that we can't choose life without death. We probably would end up never getting very far. Why does wisdom come after and not before? There will always be the unknown and therefore the mystery. We are limited and have no choice about many of them.
True, things couldn't be different if we knew: We were the part of a bigger game We fitted best there in work frame. We come off the stage when our role is over For the new dramatis personae to take over. Regards, CP

I have much enjoyed reading this. It is an honest evaluation which is probably felt by many, and said by few. I think that many people have a kind of feeling that things could have been different. great piece. Best Regards Steve 10
