What Is And What Should Never Be

Many people

believe in fate.

That everything

is what it is

and nothing

will ever change that.

Someday our world,

our emotions,

everything we have done

to make this world ours,

will be destroyed.

And that will be it.

And they are okay with that.

 

I like to think of

free-willed people

as rebellious,

always seeking more

and never settling for less.

They change their heart,

their world,

and their mind

into something

it should never be

according to those

who believe in fate.

 

So,

would you rather

alter your world,

or be okay with it

being destroyed?

The last stanza gave me goosebumps, radrach! Excellent, excellent idea. To be honest, that second stanza almost lost me (just because of the negative connotation of "rebel" that comes naturally when you used that word to describe free-willed people), but I kept reading because why wouldn't I? The final stanza summed it all up for me, and tied a beautiful bow on a poem I wouldn't normally have read. Bravo.
