Hands Of Fate

 the hands of fate

 the hands of fate would tie in knots err they touched my face

 their spinning threads would come undone in horror and disgrace

 destiny lies not in my path to wait for my approach

 she beckons to me only so she can bum a smoke

 stars do not shine on me with their brightness or their fame

 and if I should see one fall my wish would come up lame

 coincidence is not happy, nor has chance been kind

 and if luck were on the left I’d be hard to find

 should I live in the north the south would be the place

 and if I could but run I’d always lose the race

 forever have I existed not where beauty dwells

 and if my lover was a friend he’d surely run like hell

A Few Questions:

I decided to ask @torico some questions about the poem.

Question 1: 

What events transpired that made you want to write the poem "Hands Of Fate"?

Response 1: 

" I have no idea how many particular situations, it's just an underlying theme at various times in my life. If i was to really work on the poem, i'd probably scrap it as its not my favorite and not horribly adroit. bit cliche in fact. i consider it a bit of a shit poem. As an aside, i think you would have to know my work to understand what i consider a good poem to see the difference"

Question 2:

 Were you the person in the center of all these situations presented in the poem, or are they based off more than just yourself?

Response 2:

"The poem is tongue n cheek satire on a series of personal events in my life, but it's a feeling that I feel life many people can identify with, somewhat like the song, "isn't it ironic?" by Alanis Morisette, but not written quite as well. It's not a poem that I worked very hard or long on so I consider it 'unfinished', and something that was true at the time I wrote it but maybe not so much any longer."

Question 3:

What situation would you consider the final straw that resulted you into making a poem?

Response 3: 

 "I'm not sure there was any final straw. I'm an emotional writer, so when i'm feeling a strong feeling I will just sit down and spit out feelings onto paper. sometimes it comes easily, sometimes its forced out and I need to rewrite several times. this is a bit of both."
