Fate, Character And Life - Fate Is Leveler Poem by Shahid Saleem Butt

Fate like Tsunami, like Egyptian drought of seven years
Turns everything upside down
And proves to be cruelest ever leveler;
Sparing almost none.

But if unswerving-character, grit and foreseeing-wisdom (as of Prophet Joseph) join hands
They can build securest-ever embankments and dams
Not only to avert imminent fate-ravages
But to turn potential energy (of drought and Tsunami)
Into more gold (accessible water) , diamonds (aquatic life) , rubies (agriculture) and all that
And turn home on globe into
A lovelier place for life to exist.
