Destiny's Hope Poem by Kobby King

At the cross-roads of your decision making
Did you consider destiny before your decision?
When destiny's hope clinged on your single move
Did you care to ponder a little about the here-after?
Living life at the peak of your social importance
Did you care 'ahoot' about the destitude afoot?

Now you cry foul and curse for evil has befalled you
Vengeance and retribution you scream understandably
Have you considered how your selfless act of kindness
Could have averted your eternal sorrow and pain?
For when the devil dances in an empty pochet
It usually ends in unfair costs for the well to do in society

''there's no point trying for what would be would be'' you say
As you just be, careless, with no ambitions nor drive
If per chance opportunity should present itself for the taking
How would you steer it home if you so wish?
You may, by all means, moan for your unworthiness
And soab understandably for your lack of luck

But you would do well to take steps to improve your odds
For luck can be made and destiny can be helped
Let it not be your handywork if a bad destiny should befall you
Start therefore with what you have and seek for that you lack
For good-luck is half preparation and half opportunity
And even destiny needs a helping hand to succeed.
