To Turn Your Fate. From Svetlana Babetta Poem by Liza Sud

To Turn Your Fate. From Svetlana Babetta



To turn your fate.. is it impossible?
Perhaps, impossible.. how to say..
You easily may use your energy,
When there is a Cossack, whip and... sabre.

Much easier (but isn't that a boredom? !)
When wonderous lovely poems you write
without straining, for a bail is conscience,
If there's talent - poetry is light.

To toss and turn one's destiny the scammer -
You need here a special jump and hop,
In serious and virtuoso's manner,
And it is risky and producing shock.
