You are always able to be less
There is never nothing to lose
So, tempting Fate is stupid
The universe will choose
Do not be a fool
You will not win
What you learn:
Life is
Cruel

The Words That Got to Me
So, tempting Fate is stupid The universe will choose Indeed it will and does!
I thought this was a very interesting and unusual poem, dealing with humanity's capacity to underachieve and underperform. I liked the thoughts about fate and the universe choosing - philosophical brain cells stirring into action now!
