Lap Of The Gods Poem by David Harris
Lap Of The Gods
You do your best you can do,
hoping it will pass the test.
Submitting it, you wait an answer.
Success or failure lies
in the lap of the gods.
You can only hope that
they are smiling and not angry with you.
You work hard at everything that you do.
Success or failure is never in your hands,
a higher authority holds that fate
and it is in their lap it sits.
All that you can hope for is
that they are smiling
and not angry with you.

Oh David, I hate my first comment on your work to be one of dissonance but I disagree. I don't believe in Gods or capricious fates. You do the best you can do, review and re-do. That to me is the story of humanity. Edison didn'y trust to fate or some god, he proved 10,000 ways that lightbulbs didn't work. Then one that did. I love your work. We should drink a beer together and agree to disagree, agreeably. Martin.
