Thy Will Be Done
You can do as you will but not will as you will…
so noted with sadness our dearest Schopenhauer.
… is this not the question of the hour?
… the very fatal limitation of our power?
… that wicked starting point already dour…
So am I in control of my Life!? Or is my Life gripping Me?
Who exactly is Destiny? Will she not my very Death be?
Yet can I help but to pretend that Life is mine to spend—
Every breath to expend for some meaningful good end!
But if it’s not given? Goodness! If it’s just not Given…
And I, nay We condemned to still go on Livin…
… a priori Forgiven?
