Diogenes On Fate Poem by Raj Arumugam

Diogenes On Fate



Diogenes is walking past
the crowds and the stalls
in the market

the butcher has caught a man
stealing meat
'Oh, ' says the thief
'It's my fate to steal -
do not punish me! '

'Oh, ' says Diogenes,
'if it's your fate to steal
then it's your fate to be beaten! '

And Diogenes beats him
